Social inclusion, resilience and an ability for all people to access the necessities of life are key ingredients for a city to be able to support itself. The Council’s role in this depends on a number of factors.
Sustainable community development practices encourage community-led responses, but some communities may need more active support from the Council. The purpose of this framework is to:
- acknowledge the many groups that make up Wellington City
- explore key issues that affect the social wellbeing of our people
- outline the Council’s different roles in improving social wellbeing
- encourage consideration of evidence and measurable impacts.
This framework is a tool for understanding the Council’s role in improving social wellbeing for Wellingtonians, rather than a strategy that would outline the goals and plans for how the Council will improve social wellbeing.
