   The ‘baseline’ reflects actual achievement from the last year as reported in the 2019/20 Annual Report. . Where this differs from the Annual Report a footnote is used and an explanation given. If it has not been measured in the Annual Report before
then it will say ‘New’. However, if it is a new measure and data is available then a baseline has been added. It is important that we track progress over the period of the Long Term Plan from a beginning point or ‘baseline’.

    The ‘baseline’ reflects actual achievement from the last year as reported in the 2019/20 Annual Report. Where this differs from the Annual Report a footnote is used and an explanation given. If it has not been measured in the Annual Report before then
it will say ‘New’. However, if it is a new measure and data is available then a baseline has been added. It is important that we track progress over the period of the Long Term Plan from a beginning point or ‘baseline’.

    The ‘baseline’ reflects actual achievement from the last year as reported in the 2019/20 Annual Report. Where this differs from the Annual Report a footnote is used and an explanation given. If it has not been measured in the Annual Report before then
it will say ‘New’. However, if it is a new measure and data is available then a baseline has been added. It is important that we track progress over the period of the Long Term Plan from a beginning point or ‘baseline’.

   The ‘baseline’ reflects actual achievement from the last year as reported in the 2019/20 Annual Report. Where this differs from the Annual Report a footnote is used and an explanation given. If it has not been measured in the Annual Report before
then it will say ‘New’. However, if it is a new measure and data is available then a baseline has been added. It is important that we track progress over the period of the Long Term Plan from a beginning point or ‘baseline’.

   The ‘turn over’ rate shows the demand placed on stock and the durability of resources. The higher the rate, the higher the demand that is placed on that resource.

26 The ‘baseline’ reflects actual achievement from the last year as reported in the 2019/20 Annual Report. Where this differs from the Annual Report a footnote is used and an explanation given. If it has not been measured in the Annual Report before then

it will say ‘New’. However, if it is a new measure and data is available then a baseline has been added. It is important that we track progress over the period of the Long Term Plan from a beginning point or ‘baseline’.

    The ‘baseline’ reflects actual achievement from the last year as reported in the 2019/20 Annual Report. Where this differs from the Annual Report a footnote is used and an explanation given. If it has not been measured in the Annual Report before then
it will say ‘New’. However, if it is a new measure and data is available then a baseline has been added. It is important that we track progress over the period of the Long Term Plan from a beginning point or ‘baseline’.

Whanganui Regional Museum
Service levels, performance measures and targets
The Council will continue to monitor and report on actual performance against the deliverables set out in the Service Level Agreement.

The Whanganui Regional Museum plays an important role in our community and its collections represent a significant and irreplaceable public inheritance. We
fund the Whanganui Regional Museum Trust to operate the Museum activity.

We have a service level agreement with the Museum Trust. This sets out what will be purchased and provided by way of Museum services and establishes clear
performance measures for monitoring service outcomes. The priority areas addressed in the service level agreement are stewardship, access and standards.

    The ‘baseline’ reflects actual achievement from the last year as reported in the 2019/20 Annual Report. Where this differs from the Annual Report a footnote is used and an explanation given. If it has not been measured in the Annual Report before then
it will say ‘New’. However, if it is a new measure and data is available then a baseline has been added. It is important that we track progress over the period of the Long Term Plan from a beginning point or ‘baseline’.

   The ‘baseline’ reflects actual achievement from the last year as reported in the 2019/20 Annual Report. Where this differs from the Annual Report a footnote is used and an explanation given. If it has not been measured in the Annual Report before
then it will say ‘New’. However, if it is a new measure and data is available then a baseline has been added. It is important that we track progress over the period of the Long Term Plan from a beginning point or ‘baseline’.

   The ‘baseline’ reflects actual achievement from the last year as reported in the 2019/20 Annual Report. Where this differs from the Annual Report a footnote is used and an explanation given. If it has not been measured in the Annual Report before
then it will say ‘New’. However, if it is a new measure and data is available then a baseline has been added. It is important that we track progress over the period of the Long Term Plan from a beginning point or ‘baseline’.
36 Iconic events are large scale events that expect to attract crowds of 100+, and do not include smaller scale one-off events. Measurement is that a waste minimisation plan is received - we do not monitor the achievements within it.

    The ‘baseline’ reflects actual achievement from the last year as reported in the 2019/20 Annual Report. Where this differs from the Annual Report a footnote is used and an explanation given. If it has not been measured in the Annual Report before then
it will say ‘New’. However, if it is a new measure and data is available then a baseline has been added. It is important that we track progress over the period of the Long Term Plan from a beginning point or ‘baseline’.
