The Team
Zest Consulting worked with disability agency Momenta to develop a Disability Action Plan for the Bay of Plenty.
This was during the Covid 19 pandemic and just before the health boards were disbanded.
We worked hard to ensure Māori Runanga and hauora were included in the korero and are grateful to their team members from remote areas from Te Kaha to Turangi who made time to join our Teams hui and provided so much useful feedback on what was really needed for disabled tangata from their health boards.
From these hui and working with team leaders at the health boards, we developed an action plan to improve the experience and health outcomes for our disabled tangata.
Working with the Transport team and the Arataki community to improve transport choices within and through Arataki. A range of stakeholders including central and local government partners and groups in the community with a wide range of views of the best option. A community engagement plan was developed and key stakeholders identified. Regular communication with the wider community has been initiated. Education events for the community to learn about the transport options will be developed with hands on practical testing.
