The presentation of the DPS by the NZIPS Secretariat and WaterSafe Auckland to the Mayoral Forum last year resulted in the endorsement of the Strategy. Following this endorsement the Auckland Regional Council has taken the lead with funding to produce a set of regional priorities or a regional overlay to the Strategy. Among the KPI's for this initiative was that this be a collaborative process and any initiatives that came out of this be worked through in partnership with local bodies, the aquatic sector and other stakeholders. Early in Sept representatives from these groups met to workshop through the draft regional priorities. See www.watersafe.org.nz for outcomes of this community engagement."
