CouncilMARK™ Independent Assessment Board releases Porirua City Council’s report
The Independent Assessment Board which oversees the new local government excellence programme CouncilMARK™ has today
released the Porirua City Council assessment report.
IAB Chair Toby Stevenson says the reports measure indicators across leadership, finance, asset management, service
delivery and community engagement.
The programme was launched in August 2016 with 18 councils signed up for the inaugural year. Five reports were released
last week and further reports to be released in the coming months.
Reports and more information on CouncilMARK™ can be found here.
Mr Stevenson says the reports are designed to give councils and communities an informed and independent view on how they
are carrying out their role as Councils, including on where they are excelling and areas for improvement.
“The reports have been completed by independent assessors under the direction of the board, and offer an independent
assessment of each council’s performance in key areas,” Mr Stevenson says.
“These reports will provide valuable information to councils and communities. Measuring performance means both can
assess how to better deliver ongoing and increased value to communities.”
