Measuring progress

Effective monitoring and clear evaluation processes are fundamental to the successful implementation of the Auckland Plan 2050.

A robust monitoring and evaluation framework provides:

• a process for tracking progress
• an ongoing evidence base for aligning the implementation and regulatory plans and funding programmes of Auckland Council and other stakeholders.

Monitoring framework

The monitoring framework measures progress towards the strategic direction set out in the Auckland Plan 2050.

The framework includes 33 measures that are aligned to the six Auckland Plan 2050 outcomes and the feasible development capacity target for housing as required by the National Policy Statement on Urban Development Capacity (NPSUDC).

The outcomes are broad in nature, and are to a large extent inter-dependent.

Some measures inform progress across more than one outcome, reflecting the integrated nature of the plan.

​Belonging and Participation outcome

• Measure 1: Aucklanders' sense of community in their neighbourhood
• Measure 2: Aucklanders' sense of safety in their homes and neighbourhood
• Measure 3: Aucklanders' quality of life
• Measure 4: Relative deprivation across Auckland
• Measure 5: Aucklanders' health

Reporting

Progress reports will be publicly available. 

Annual scorecard

A 'scorecard' will be prepared once a year. This will provide a snapshot of progress against the outcomes.

Data will be updated each year, wherever possible.

Three yearly progress report

A progress report will be prepared every three years. The first report will be made available in 2020.

This report will supplement the annual scorecards. It will provide a more detailed analysis of the trends for each measure.

This analysis will draw on a range of other reports and data sets.

The three yearly report will help to provide a strong evidence base for decision-makers.
