In collaboration with DS Project Solutions, Roading Logistics entered a 2-year project with GDC to enhance and Develop Te Tairāwhiti Community through; Training, Innovation, Leadership, Knowledge Transfer, Ownership, Management, Transparency and Communication.

After meeting with Gisborne District Council a philosophy was developed by Roading Logistics to encompass the skills and knowledge required to return the Integrity, Ownership, and Management of the Local Authority Roading Network.

Our goal was an ambitious program, to make a positive difference, upskilling existing and new employees, and implementing a shift change in data delivery, while enriching people’s lives within a community, and returning the heart of that community to their council.

Our Journey was not to go in and consult to council for an unlimited time, but to bring back the mana of the council and enable them to pick up and carry on the work.

Our strategy was to Localise, Reduce and Resource. 

We began with hiring local, and developing their skills, to deliver the required outcomes. Reduce the cost of external contractors, consultants, and be more efficient and cost effective. Pull as many resources as possible back in house and enable the council to manage their network, overall.

We leave this project very proud of the Team in Tairāwhiti, self-sufficient, self-managing and producing great results for their communities.
