WCC Community Outcomes
- enabling community to come up with the outcomes and then WN City Council chooses whether
  to adopt these.  This involves asking community groups as well as selected individuals to
  look at different areas of the city.
- Paula Warren and Ralph Chapman have agreed to be involved (to look at all outcomes).
- Donna suggested we could develop core principles that could be shared around NZ e.g. with
  other LSA associations.
- Suggest other walking advocacy groups do the same.
- suggest Paula and Ralph share their discussions online to allow other input.

Alexia Pickering moved that Paula Warren and Ralph Chapman will take a lead role but allow
open discussion online from other members.  Seconded by Mike Mellor.
