In 2018 the Ministry of Education implemented a visioning exercise to jumpstart a series of conversations aimed at building the world’s best education system. The Ministry of Education hosted a variety of events to ensure diverse representation of views were captured. Events included public workshops, seminars, and a comprehensive online survey designed to elicit responses from anyone with an interest in education.
Let’s Get Wellington Moving (LGWM) is a partnership between Wellington City Council, Greater Wellington Regional Council, and the NZ Transport Agency.

The Bay of Plenty Regional Land Transport Plan 2018 (RLTP) was developed as a single strategic document by all Councils within the Bay of Plenty to seek central government funding for improvements to the region’s transport network. A list of prioritised proposed activities was presented in the RLTP demonstrating which aspects of the transport network would be preferentially funded. These activities included improvements for road safety, active and public transport, and roading infrastructure.
A public engagement process was conducted to receive feedback from members of the public and stakeholders on the RLTP. Over 1,300 submissions were received from members of the public and stakeholders.
In 2013 the five Lincoln Hub Partners embarked on an ambitious plan to bring their organisations closer together to deliver greater land based sector returns for New Zealand. New Zealand’s economic, social and environmental future is dependent on this improvement as this sector currently returns 30% of GDP and the New Zealand Government’s aim is to increase this to 40% by 2025. GDP growth will not be cost-free however, as the sector is based on the use of natural resources; the aim is to increase productivity and economic returns, while at the same time reducing environmental impacts.
The Lincoln Hub aims to deliver its collaboration physically, scientifically and operationally at Lincoln in Canterbury New Zealand.
In 2014 CERA developed a draft residential chapter titled A Liveable City to add to the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan. The draft chapter proposed some changes to the Christchurch City Plan (the District Plan). Global Research was contracted to develop a questioning approach which efficiently and effectively measured stakeholders’ and citizens’ opinions on the draft chapter and to also complete the collation, synthesis, analysis and reporting on all received comments.
New Zealand’s Department of Conservation (DOC) wanted to measure visitor satisfaction with recreation track quality and perceptions of visitor crowding across a representative sample of its 2050 easily accessible through to remote tracks. It also wanted to find out general demographic information about its visitors. In 2004, 2005 and 2006 it engaged GR (then Leisure Matters) to design and manage this research. A representative range of around 500 DOC sites were surveyed over three years.
