Abstract/Contents:"Parks managers outline the approach their departments have taken towards ensuring performance and service with contractors, and the advantages they see in the approach. Auckland's Parks and Streetscape has taken a partnership approach with contracting staff and vehicles identified as an extension of parks staff. Manukau Parks has performance-based contracts with independent auditors measuring a sample of work output that translates to a payment, bonus, or invoice reduction. Uniformed field officers provide direct customer service on parks. North Shore has taken a prescriptive approach defining many inputs and scheduling of work. Contractor managers will comment on the pros and cons of the different services, as they have experienced them or would expect to operate. The session allows plenty of time for audience participation for debate or sharing workable approaches. The comparing and contrasting of different approaches should assist departments to select the best aspects of the different measures and avoid some of the weaknesses."
