Measure the success of your strategy

When will you monitor?

Once you’ve made a list of what you’ll monitor, decide:

  • what you’ll monitor within the next year (priority one)
  • what you’ll monitor after one year (priority two)
  • what you’ll monitor after two years or more years (priority three).

Rate each item on your list as priority one, two, or three. Think about:

  • the resources you’ll need, within and outside council, to do the monitoring
  • the importance to council and the community
  • how each one relates to policies in the city or district plan, and to council’s wider monitoring work
  • whether information is already available that will make monitoring easier
  • the links between the things you’re monitoring. For example, if you want to monitor air quality during the next year, it can be useful to monitor traffic density as well.
