3 Why Road Safety? • A fit with a Public Safety Outcome • High/Highest social and economic importance • A Win/Win opportunity for Councils committed to real ltccp “dialogue” with their communities • Points on the board • Good? micro/mega Data … at different levels • Connected grass roots input to National macro level Outcomes-Based Policy, Wellington NZ, 31 st March & 1 st April 2004 © Larry Mitchell 2004

4 Health Warning • This case study was a “work in progress” at the time of its preparation • No reference to, or criticism of any living person or organisation is intended… (Except that the RDC is “my Council”. They are currently doing their best with the use of the LGA 02’s "Transitional Provisions" and will in 2006 go for the “full monty” ltccp… along with about 50 or 60 other similar New Zealand Councils) Outcomes-Based Policy, Wellington NZ, 31 st March & 1 st April 2004 © Larry Mitchell 2004

21 RDC Public Safety Outcome • Can’t find any RDC Outcomes. This may be for two reasons • One… not there or • Two… can’t find it • FNDC use alphabetical list of "Council’s Activities"… but Road Safety is not there either possibly for the same reason as RDC (above) But is not Road Safety a "Biggie?

22 Conclusion It is early days yet … but If the spirit, rather than the letter of LGA 02 relating to the ltccp process and its intended pay-offs, including the harnessing of the power of community involvement, is to be realised then the lessons learned from this case study … can help along the road. . . to improved Road Safety Outcomes-Based Policy, Wellington NZ, 31 st March & 1 st April 2004 © Larry Mitchell 2004
