Practice Guide

The Partnering Practice Guide for Waitakere has been developed to support and sit alongside Waitakere City Council's Partnering Policy. It brings together a more in depth discussion of partnering and some helpful partnering tools, resources and tips. The success of the Council as a partnering organisation is dependent upon the knowledge, know-how, systems and supports for both elected members and staff who are at the coal face of relationships and partnering endeavours. In acknowledging that partnering is an art rather than a science, this guide should be seen as a tool book rather than a rule book.

The practice of partnering is an ever-evolving state. The guide is a 'living document' - one that can be added to over time as new ideas, processes and resources are developed. To date, much of Waitakere City Council's experience in partnering has been developed from 'doing' and this is expected to continue. However, growing and enhancing partnering capacity and practice at an organisational level is essential to enable the hopes and aspirations of the Partnering Policy to be achieved.
