| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the activity management planning concept, stating that "the concept of 'activity management planning' is not new and was suggested as a means of addressing the requirements of the LGA [Local Government Act 2002] in a more integrated way. Earlier asset management plans had often been viewed as a vehicle to meet legislative rather than integrated management documents." Reports that "the Christchurch [New Zealand] City Council has adopted a planning framework in response to the LGA requiremnts and to encapsulate a different way of working." Also reports that "an activity management planning template has been formulated for Christchurch City Council. This template incorporates information for each activity on levels of service (actual and projected), links to policies and strategies, links to community outcomes, customer expectations, issues and options available." Presents an example of a possible activity management plan for sports parks. Concludes that "there are many benefits that can be derived from following an activity management approach. Specifically, it enables all the various documents, plans, policies and procedures that support activity delivery to be brought together in a single repository. This will initiate improved integration of these previously disconnected functions, reduce the level of duplication and indicate business priorities through gap analysis...Activity management plans offer the opportunity to revise the way business is conducted and can be used as both a management document and to meet legislative requirements. It can be applied universally to both asset oriented activities." |
