Next steps

What happens now that we've had these talanoa with the community? 

1. Feedback by community

We will now seek additional input from our regional leadership groups for this report to ensure all relevant areas have been addressed comprehensively and are included when the first draft of the Action Plan is developed.

Our goal is to gain a clear understanding of the community's priorities, to ensure the Action Plan reflects a comprehensive and aligned approach. The feedback received from the community will be integrated into the initial draft of the Action Plan.

Through this process, we will explore the identified priority areas, setting clear goals, defining potential impacts, outlining achievable timelines, and establishing measurable milestones. These steps are designed to ensure that the Action Plan aligns closely with Whaikaha core values and mission, while effectively meeting the community's needs and aspirations.

2. First draft for the Action Plan

We aim to complete the first draft for the Action Plan by late September to early October, with these timelines subject to potential adjustments.

This draft will then be shared with our regional leadership groups for their input. Feedback from these groups will inform the final draft of the Action Plan, which will subsequently be submitted for Ministerial feedback.
