Planning outcomes are influenced and shaped by a range of
policy instruments. The introduction of spatial planning
into the legislation for the new Auckland Council marks a
further journey towards a greater role for public policy in
planning at a strategic level.
This seminar is designed to look at the range of
instruments that planners should be using in the delivery of
planning outcomes, including future spatial plans.
The seminar starts with a ‘top down’ view from a
CEO in the public sector, and an Executive Director of a large
private sector organisation, both with professional backgrounds
in planning. Experienced practitioners from related
fields will outline the range of instruments that can, and
should be utilised by planners to deliver outcomes. These
include Long Term Plans, rating systems, financial and
development contributions, asset management planning and the
like.
The afternoon will cover spatial planning, followed by a panel
discussion of selected audience members on the learnings of the
day.
Who should attend?
The seminar is designed for planning and allied professionals
of intermediate to senior experience, from the full range of
backgrounds within the professions.
What you will learn
You will learn from senior practitioners the range of
mechanisms that can, and should be utilised in forming and
shaping communities. You will be exposed to how these
mechanisms impact on the delivery of planning outcomes.
The seminar will equip you with a broad understanding of the
many tools at your disposal - "Twenty Ways" to achieve your
(planning) goals.
Programme –
9am – 9.15am Opening MC: Leigh Auton,
Director, Auton & Associates
9.15am - 10.45am CEO’s Perspective on Planning
– the range of instruments
Two perspectives
There are a range of mechanisms by which the aspirations of
communities are identified and delivered. This session
will explore these mechanisms from the perspective of two CEOs
with professional backgrounds in planning. Content will
include an explanation of Community Outcomes, integration of
Council Strategic Plans (eg Three Waters, Park Strategies,
Transport Plan, Social Plans). Critically, the question
explored is how to bring them all together – how do you
prioritise?
10.45am - 11.15am Morning Tea
11.15am – 12.15pm
The Balance Sheet – what planners need to
know
Dave will explore the importance of the Balance Sheet in
determining planning outcomes, including Long Term Plans, the
role of rating and differentials, Development and Financial
Contributions, and Depreciation Funding.
12.15pm – 12.45pm Asset management plans –
their role in delivering planning outcomes.
Asset Management Plans such as for Transport, Parks, Property,
Water and Waste Water, Stormwater and Heritage are essential
mechanisms in the delivery of community assets. They
determine priorities and specify levels of service. This
session will explore the reasons why Planners need to be
involved.
12.45pm - 1.15pm Planning and Investing for Outcomes -
linking transport, land use and investment
Planning
Integrated planning brings together land use, transport and
investment planning. This session will explore the
lessons that NZTA has learnt from developing its Integrated
Planning Strategy and how it is looking to apply this strategy
to optimising the benefits of the Roads of National
Significance, moving from funding outputs to planning for and
investing in outcomes, and why planners need to work beyond the
RMA to deliver the places they want.
1.15pm – 2.15pm Lunch
2.15pm – 3.15pm
Spatial Planning and links to other plans
Spatial Planning, provided for in the legislation for the new
Auckland Council, confirms a significant role for public policy
in planning at a strategic level. Likewise it provides,
at the local levels, the opportunity to shape places in a
coherent manner through Local Board Plans. This session
will explore this exciting opportunity for planners and will
link the learnings of earlier speakers to the spatial plan
concept.
3.15pm – 4pm Panel Session
4pm – 4.15pm Concluding Remarks
