Telling Our Stories


Telling Our Stories is another guide that supports your conduct of the right debate with your community (the first of the four cardinal virtues).  In this guide you can expect to find handy hints for preparing an LTCCP summary that engages your community in the LTCCP process and meets the requirements of the Act.  Also on this site are three of the five finalists from the 2006 SOLGM LTCCP Summary Competition from Tauranga (the winner), Papakura and Auckland Regional Council.
