Five partners collaborate for New Zealand’s land based future ~ Lincoln Hub Plan Preparation

Five partners collaborate for New Zealand’s land based future ~ Lincoln Hub Plan Preparation

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.

Christchurch's Central Recovery Plan Liveable City Chapter ~ Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA)

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.

Outdoor recreation visitors have their say: National Visitor Survey 2004, 2005, 2006 ~ Department of Conservation

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.
