Fit-For-Purpose wellbeing outcomes Framework for Kāinga Ora

This project is part of the wider piece of work TUA undertook for Kāinga Ora, centred around Eastern Porirua.

Kāinga Ora were seeking to understand what successful regeneration would look like in Porirua. In response, TUA developed an easy to understand framework for measuring successful wellbeing outcomes in the area.

The Challenge

Kāinga Ora wanted to apply the Treasury's National Living Standards Framework at a local scale, to achieve community wellbeing outcomes when delivering the Eastern Porirua future regeneration programme. 

The Solution

As a result of TUA's work, Kāinga Ora and their partners now have a fit-for-purpose framework that can immediately be applied to Porirua. The framework ensures that the urban regeneration would be undertaken in a way that protects and enhances community wellbeing across all levels - as opposed to displacing people.

The Journey

Extensive research, systems thinking and data visualisation went into the development of the framework. TUA also hosted a number of workshops with the Kāinga Ora project team as well as cross-government workshops, which drew together all potential project partners to be a part of defining measurable regeneration success over the 25-year programme.

The framework can now be used by Kāinga Ora, Porirua City Council and Ngāti Toa to evaluate and align their activities, creating better wellbeing outcomes for the people of eastern Porirua.
