The Yardstick Advisory Groups met earlier this month to consider what NZ specific benchmarking questions should be included in 2017 along with the core questions that we ask every member every year.

The NZ specific questions for parks benchmarking will include questions on smoke free parks, artificial sports fields, freedom camping, electronic surveillance and CCTV policies, water play parks, NZRA Parks categories and standard asset lives. The NZ specific questions for facilities benchmarking will include questions on staff qualifications, accessibility auditing, café provision, healthy food policy, staff turnover and sun exposure policy.

If you want to know what level of service targets other organisations in NZ and around the world are setting for provision of parks (area per capita and distribution) have a look at your online Yardstick parks benchmarks reports (section E2). Food for thought….

Parks benchmarking for NZ will be open in early April. Want to know more? Contact us at https://www.yardstickglobal.org/contact
