A showcase for developers and investors
A clear, public picture of how the region could plan and build its services.
Idea for assessment, not an approved project
The problem
What residents describe today.
People who want to build or invest here find it hard to see what the region plans and how decisions are made.
Evidence
The problem comes from people who want to build or invest and find it hard to see plans and decisions in one place. It has not been measured yet.
The idea
An approach to assess.
- A public showcase of the plan: one front door for requests, one record, one owner and one clock for every task.
- Discovery first: list every system and need before any code is written.
- A phased plan with the measures the region would judge it by.
Before anything happens
What this idea still needs.
- Tarrabin Consulting's role
- Tarrabin Consulting wrote this idea and can advise on it. We do not run these services and we hold no approval to build them. Any decision belongs to the people and organizations responsible.
- Decisions needed
- What a public showcase would include, who keeps it current, and which measures it would be judged by.
- Next step to test it
- Discovery first: list the systems and needs before any design or code.
- Communities
- Where an idea touches First Nations or Métis communities, those communities decide. Nothing goes ahead without their written mandate, and the Crown's duty to consult stays with the Crown.
