Measuring our success
- Performance measures and targets
Performance Measure Principles for LTP 2021-31
• Measures align with and support
LTP Community Outcomes and
Strategic Priorities
• Are community focused and
measure things that GW can
influence
• Create a picture of one or more
aspects of our activities
• Less is more…….smaller number of
high impact measures (6340)
Environment & Flood Protection
• Reduced from 28 to 15 measures
• 6 new measures focused on the following:
– Delivery of Whaitua Implementation Programmes
– Re-afforestation and restoration of wetlands in regional parks
– Delivery of Predator Free Wellington
– Implementation of Regional Biodiversity Strategy
– Completion of Riverlink flood control works
– Safety of marine activities in the region’s waters
Regional Strategy & Partnerships
• Increased from 4 to 10 measures
• Only LTP activity group increase number of measures for 2021
• 10 new measures focused on the following:
– Responding to the climate emergency
– Regional economic recovery and spatial planning
– Readiness of the Emergency Coordination Centre
– Mode shift to public transport and active modes
– Partnerships with mana whenua and outcomes for Māori
Metlink – Public Transport
• Decreased from 12 to 4 measures
• Previous measures will still be tracked and reported to the
Transport Committee
• 4 new measures focused on the following:
– Customer experience across entire public transport network

– Reducing public transport emissions through decarbonisation
– Reduction of accidental death and serious injury on public transport
Water Supply
• Decreased from 19 to 10 measures

separate customer service measures and line fault response
times

achieve consistency across its local councils

•
Create awareness of the challenges we are facing as a region, and the ways GW as

Engage our community to share their view on which option(s) GW should choose to
address some of these pressing issues. We want
750 people to submit feedback on
Have Your Say by the end of the consultation period.
•
Provide visibility of the LTP journey, and the way in which community feedback
influences GW decision making.
