Me pēhea te whai wāhi mai How to get involved

How we plan for the future affects us all and our future generations. So it is important that government departments provide the public with the opportunity for meaningful and inclusive engagement. This will help ensure that the briefings are relevant and focused on what matters for New Zealand.

Government departments will consult on the proposed subject matter for the focus of the briefing and on the draft briefing once developed. They may also engage with segments of the community and the wider public at other steps throughout the briefing process.

This page gives a picture of the opportunities for engaging on briefings across the Public Service. Consultations on proposed subject matter for briefings are listed at the top of the page, followed by active consultations on draft briefings. Published briefings are listed on the previous page.

Agencies needing to update us on the progress of their briefings should use the templates under 'Information for agencies' on the next page.
