North Shore City Council is committed to innovation in terms of management, technology and planning, to meet its business objectives and the needs of its stakeholders. This paper addresses the reasons why North Shore has chosen to focus on innovation; the development of innovation tools and processes for council, the specific selection and modification of innovation tools for use in wastewater network projects and the development of a quality assurance system which integrates innovation processes into project processes.
The paper covers the exploration of areas in a wastewater network infrastructure project where innovation can be applied, from feasibility through to construction, and explores how the innovation tools used vary from stage to stage, and within each stage. The paper also explores challenges of uptake of the innovation tools and solutions.
