Collective Action
​​A key role of Living Landscapes is to ensure others understand community collective action so everyone can work positively to improve the environment.
We operate under the Principles of:
-
Trust
-
Open Communication
-
Reciprocity
​
Building trust with Councils and other partners is essential to success.
​
Open communication will ensure we have information to focus well planned action, and that others understand the benefits of collective action. ​
​
It is important that all involved acknowledge local action with reciprocity; reward positive actions with other positive actions.
​​​When we participate in formal regulatory processes, we will, wherever possible:
​
-
Demonstrate what is possible through action.
-
Engage with iwi and regulators or other key partners early.
-
Mentor and empower local catchment groups to undertake their own negotiated process with agencies.
​
We will only use member funds or donations to support participation in formal regulatory processes.
