Abstract

Colmar Brunton was commissioned by Wellington City Council who were acting on behalf of territorial local authorities across the Wellington Region (Wellington City, Hutt City, Upper Hutt City, Kapiti Coast District, Porirua City, South Wairarapa District, Carterton District and Masterton District Councils) and the Greater Wellington Regional Council.

The research was undertaken to gain an understanding of:

the types of amenities that residents in the region view as being important to the Wellington region’s identity, quality of life, economy and attractiveness to residents and visitors; and
the level of public support across the Wellington region for regionally funded amenities (measured by whether they support the concept of collaboration between councils and to what extent residents are prepared to pay for regional amenities).

The aim of the research was to get a sense of the type of entities that residents in the region view as being regionally important. Lists of amenities generated through this research are not meant to provide a definitive list of regional amenities that should be supported by the region. This research is the first step of a wider project being conducted by the territorial authorities in the region to review the funding of regionally significant and beneficial amenities for the Wellington region.
