Act on your results
Monitoring without action is meaningless. Keep track of the results of your monitoring, and make the changes that you need to. This is an ongoing process.
If your monitoring shows that you’re not achieving your desired results in improving the urban environment – change whatever isn’t working.
If your monitoring shows that you need to take action, but you don’t have the resources – prioritise the things you can do now.
Checklist
- What changes in the urban environment has monitoring identified?
- Are they the changes you wanted?
- Is the strategy working? Do you need to change it?
- Does the community need to be consulted about any action you’re taking?
- Have all the right people received feedback?

nine: Monitoring review [Word doc 11kb]
Helping create liveable urban environments is a process of constantly learning, revising, and communicating. Properly done, it involves the community, has measurable actions and outcomes, and is part of council’s ‘bigger picture’. Ultimately, it leads to urban environments that are great places to live, work, and play.
