Executive summary
This report provides a summary of the outcomes from Phase 1 of the Upper Clutha Asset Mapping exercise. Asset
mapping is a best practice methodology developed by the Asset Based Community Development Institute to help
guide community led development. The aim of the exercise was to develop a first cut high level understanding of
the strengths (assets) of the Upper Clutha Community. Phase 1 research was conducted by scanning publicly
available information sources both online and in print. Primary sources of data were QLDC website and reports, NZ
census data, Family Services and Community Networks websites and local print and social media.
The research finds that the Upper Clutha community has a strong economy underpinned by an outstanding natural
environment and a wealth of outdoor activities. Our primary industries of tourism and construction reflect the
strength of our natural assets. Our community is supported by a wide variety of social, educational and health
services and community groups work hard for the benefit of our community.
The research draws attention to a wide gap in up to date economic data that is publicly available for the Upper
Clutha area. Census data is now 3 years old. The research also draws attention to the number of places information
about services and community groups resides and the difficulty in maintaining accuracy of this data to the point
where some data sources have become unreliable.
Our population and visitor activity has experiences high levels of growth in the last 5 years which can present
challenges to our physical environment and place stress on our infrastructure and our social services.
Key Recommendations:
• QLDC to source up to date detailed economic data for the Upper Clutha Community.
• Development of a single source of up to date community group and services information. A place where
community groups and services can update their own information and where residents can search for the
information they need.
• Community Networks to undertake validation of community groups information – ensure contact details and
other data is correct.
• Production of a physical large scale map of the area to mark up the physical assets. This map would serve as
a talking point for community engagement, a way to showcase the assets that we have and to identify any
gaps for specific neighbourhoods.

Asset Mapping for the Upper Clutha
The Asset Mapping Project was the first strategic action in the LINK Upper Clutha, our community development
scheme . LINK is a locally-driven, central government-supported entity focused on connecting people, organisations
and infrastructure within the area to ensure a united approach to community development and social and economic
enterprise. LINK aims to work with leaders across community sectors to build unexpected partnerships and produce
innovative solutions that make the most of our strengths.
Aim of Project
The aim of the Asset Mapping project to identify the "assets" or strengths of the Upper Clutha Community. The
resulting Asset Map enables the LINK team to understand the current capacity of the community and will assist the
LINK team in creating a vision and plan for sustainable community development that builds on these assets. It can
also help to uncover untapped skills and gifts in our community and connect groups and individuals together to
strengthen our community.
The resulting asset map is a ‘snapshot’ of the Upper Clutha community for early 2016. The CDS team continues to
work with partners and stakeholders to plan how this information can be used for the benefit of the whole
community, both now and in the future.
The Upper Clutha Community Development Project (LINK)
LINK Upper Clutha is a 3 year community development project funded under the Department of Internal Affairs
Community Development Scheme.
Our long term goal is:
Upper Clutha people have a sense of belonging, purpose, and pride. Organisations from all community sectors
(business, education, health care, grassroots community groups, social service, local government, environment, etc.)
share a vision for the future that they actively engage with and help make reality.
The outcomes we are looking for to achieve this are:
1: Leaders approach community problems together, using innovative partnerships and ideas to create solutions
2: A resilient, sustainable community that cooperates and coordinates well
3: Effective long-term community development planning becomes “business as usual” in the Upper Clutha
What is Asset Mapping?
Asset mapping is a key step in the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) framework (see below). Asset
mapping is a bottom up process that involves identifying all of the assets of a community. Asset mapping helps us to
identify the human, physical, financial and other resources in our community. It helps us to view our community
from its strengths rather than focussing on its problems. Assets can include the skills and gifts of people, the
physical buildings and land, the financial resources we have, the services available to residents and the community
groups, institutions and social services that exist for its residents.
Asset mapping has been used successfully in communities all around the world to increase community engagement
and to increase the involvement of residents in the future of their communities. Whilst asset mapping in New
Zealand is reasonably new it has been utilised successfully by South Alive (South Invercargill), Project Lyttelton,
Transition Town Thames (T3) and Violence Free Waitakere.

Asset Based Community Development*
The Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) framework is a way to understand a community in order to build
community based on its strengths and gifts rather than focussing on its problems and issues.
ABCD is an approach to community-based development, based on the principles of:
• Appreciating and mobilising individual and community talents, skills and assets (rather than focusing on
problems and needs)
• Community-driven development rather than development driven by external agencies
*By Gord Cunningham and Alison Mathie, Coady International Institute February 2002. For more information on
ABCD: http://www.abcdinstitute.org/
Approach
The asset mapping exercise for the Upper Clutha will be conducted in two phases:
Phase 1: Foundational Research (completed)
The aim of phase 1 was to undertake a high-level assessment of the community to develop a snapshot in time of the
community’s assets. Phase 1 was carried out between March and July 2016. The research can be easily replicated
for future comparison purposes. The approach taken was to use publicly available information to develop maps of
the economic, physical and institutional assets of the Upper Clutha community. This involved gathering the
following information:
1) Community groups operating and services available in the Upper Clutha
2) Economic assets (E.g. events, funding bodies and accompanying data such as employment and GDP by
industry)
3) Physical assets (E.g. parks, trails, sports infrastructure, public buildings, tracks, open spaces)
This document provides a summary of the outcomes for Phase 1 only.
Phase 2: Engagement and connection building (planned)
Building on the outcomes of phase 1 and engaging widely in the community we will build a map of the gifts, talents
and skills of individuals and the culture and stories of the Upper Clutha community.
The first step in phase 2 will be to develop an engagement strategy which will define the methodology and planned
activities for community engagement.
Key stakeholders
The following key stakeholders were identified as having a strong interest in the outcomes of the asset mapping
exercise.
1. LINK Steering Group – set the foundation for engagement and projects.
2. ACDT & Community Networks – provides a baseline understanding of services available. Way to cross check
against reality and advocate to close gaps.
3. QLDC – input into planning, decision making, possible partners for projects, owner of some of the data.
4. Funders – understand current and future needs of the community, identify potential gains in efficiency by
understanding overlaps and gaps in community.

Phase 1 Outcomes
1. Community Groups and Service Providers
Definitions
Community groups are the not-for profit groups, formal and informal, often run by volunteers, that operate in our
community to fulfil a purpose that benefits either a sector of or our entire community. This includes sporting clubs,
environmental groups and groups devoted to arts culture.
Service providers include all social, health and educational services either based out of the Upper Clutha or
providing services to the Upper Clutha community. Apart from a few select umbrella organisations (eg Wanaka
Health Centre) It does not include private operators who provide niche or specialist services or operate as a business
on a profit basis. E.g. physiotherapists, private counsellors.
Information Sources
In developing the database the following sources were used:
• QLDC community groups listing - (http://groups.qldc.govt.nz/groups/location/wanaka)
• Family Services Directory (https://www.familyservices.govt.nz/directory/)
• Community Networks website (http://communitynetworks.co.nz/community-organisations-2/)
• Wanaka App, Wanaka Local calendar
• Shaping our future reports and forums (Wanaka Conservation forum)
• Own knowledge, social media, local newspapers and other media
Summary of Findings
We have identified 206 community groups and service providers serving the Upper Clutha area:
• 108 community groups and 98 service providers including health care and education providers. They were
assigned to one of 12 categories.
• 70% of these organisations were either entirely focused on our community or have staff or volunteers
working specifically for the Upper Clutha community
• The categories with the most number of organisations were Social and Community Services (28%), Health
Care (19%) and Sport and Recreation (17%).
• Data validity - new groups and services are starting all the time – by mid-2016 our data was already out of
date. The QLDC community groups database is quite out of date particularly the contact details for some of
the groups.
• There are Facebook only groups such as Food for Love, The Upper Clutha Trading Post, Wanaka Warmth for
Winter that serve our community. They are not a formal group or legal organisation and don’t appear on
any listing of community groups.
• There is no single place for people to go to search for this information.
Recommendations
• Development of a single source of up-to-date community group and services information - the Upper Clutha
needs a place where community groups and services can update their own information and where residents
can search for the information they need.
• Data validation - complete validation of contact details for groups as not all details are current. We
recommend working with Community Networks volunteers to check contact details and update database.
• Engagement with groups during phase 2 – use database as a basis to ensure wide engagement in the
community and to connect groups and individuals doing similar work.
LINK Upper Clutha Asset Mapping Phase 1 - Final Report Page 7 of 48
• Promotion of available services – anecdotal evidence suggests that many services are not widely known
about in the community. Investigate tactics to promote services.
• Complete a validation check for regional organisations who state that their services cover our region to
ensure these services are available here. This may require advocating for services in the case where the
service has not yet been available.
2. Economic Assets
Definitions
In a traditional sense our economic assets are those things that involve the production, distribution, and
consumption of goods and services. They include industries, businesses, organisations and public sector employers.
However, if we take a broader view economic assets should also include the unpaid and voluntary sectors of our
community and the gift economy. The Upper Clutha is a well-known visitor destination which contributes to the
local economy. Visitors come to the Upper Clutha for its open and picturesque landscape (see physical assets). This
data, however is much more difficult to gather in terms of its value to our economy.
For the purposes of Phase 1 foundational research we have included the following economic assets for the Upper
Clutha community:
• Major industries and employers
• Demographic data of residents and households
• Events
• Business support organisations
• Funders

LINK Upper Clutha Asset Mapping Phase 1 - Final Report Page 8 of 48
Summary of Findings
The research finds that the Upper Clutha community has a strong and growing economy however it is heavily reliant
on just a few industries; rental hiring and real estate, construction and food and accommodation services comprised
almost 40% of the area’s GDP in the year ended March 2015. The area has experienced strong growth in population
and visitor numbers and growth is expected to continue, albeit at a slower pace than the last decade.
Key facts and figures:
• The visitor economy is the key economic driver of the Lake Wanaka region and provides the community a
better quality of life. It generates $251 million per year, or $687,671 per day to our economic wellbeing.
(Source Lake Wanaka Tourism Strategic Plan)
• 13% increase in guest nights in the year ended December 2015. More than half the jobs in Wanaka are
supported by tourism and related industries. (Source Lake Wanaka Tourism Strategic Plan)
• 42% of Upper Clutha residents earn their income from 2 or more sources including dividend and rents and
31% of residents are self-employed or earn their income from business. This compares to 19% and 14%
respectively for NZ. (Source 2013 NZ Census Data)
• Queenstown Lakes’ median earnings from salary and wages is lower than New Zealand’s and one of the
lowest of territorial authorities (at $22,700 compared to around $32,300 nationally).
(Source QLDC Economic Development Strategy)
• Our top industries reflect our population growth and a strong economic reliance on tourism. The top
industries by GDP, comprising almost 40% of the area’s GDP are:
1. Rental, hiring and real estate $81.1M 19.4% of GDP
2. Construction $42.9M 10.2% of GDP
3. Food and Accommodation Services $35.6M 8.5% of GDP
(Source: Wanaka and surrounds Annual Economic Profile 2015)
• The top industry employers representing 45% of the area’s employment:
1. Food and Accommodation Services 961 people employed 18.3% of total
2. Construction 715 people employed 13.6% of total
3. Retail 712 people employed 13.5% of total
(Source: Wanaka and surrounds Annual Economic Profile 2015)
Recommendations
• Ensure that Phase 2 of the asset mapping exercise seeks to identify the size and nature of emerging
businesses such as the wedding industry and people working remotely eg IT and web development
• Investigation into gathering data on the local economy – eg % of businesses owned locally, # people working
for organisations that are located out of town, retail spend locally vs out of town
• Investigation into gathering data on the size of the unpaid and voluntary sector of the economy

3. Physical Assets
Definitions
Physical assets include the natural environment, buildings and infrastructure, transport systems and community
facilities.
The following organisations are key managers and stakeholders for our region’s physical assets:
• Department of Conservation – national parks, conservation areas
• Queenstown Lakes District Council – recreation reserves and sports fields, parks and gardens, community
buildings, infrastructure (water, sewage, transport, roads)
• Otago Regional Council – waterways
• Upper Clutha Tracks Trust and Aspiring Tracks Network.
• Private landowners and developers – accessing conservation areas, residential and commercial property
developers.
• Private operators – ski fields, events venues, campgrounds and holiday parks.
• Police and emergency services
Information Sources
• DOC website - national parks and conservation area information
• QLDC – recreation reserve plans
• QLDC District and Annual plans
• Emergency services
• General knowledge
Key Findings
• The Upper Clutha area is incredibly rich in natural resources; rivers and lakes, mountains and forests. There
is a huge and expanding network of walking and biking tracks through the area. Biking track development
has expanded rapidly in the last 10 years and will continue to grow.
• Infrastructure development can sometimes struggle to keep pace with the population growth and can often
be a point of tension within the community.
• Transportation is reliant primarily on private vehicles – there is no public transportation system.
• The Upper Clutha area has a higher than average % of green space per capita (find source of this data – Ella)
• Our natural environment underpins our economy particularly the tourism industry.
Recommendations
• Produce a hard copy map of the Upper Clutha area and mark up with all the physical assets
• Benchmark our physical assets against towns of a similar size to see how we compare.

Appendix 2: Upper Clutha Economic Assets
Executive Summary
This report provides a summary of the economic assets of the Upper Clutha community. In preparing this report
research was undertaken into publicly available information sources including QLDC and Lake Wanaka Tourism
reports and plans, Statistics NZ data for the region and the Wanaka Annual Economic Profile, published by
InfoMetrics.
The research finds that the Upper Clutha community has a strong and growing economy however it is heavily reliant
on its three largest industries; rental, hiring and real estate, construction and the food and accommodation sector.
Population and GDP growth in the area outstrips New Zealand and is expected to continue, albeit at a slower pace
than the last decade.
The tourism industry has experienced strong growth with Lake Wanaka Tourism reporting a 13% increase in guest
nights in the year ended December 2015. More than half the jobs in Wanaka are supported by tourism and related
industries.
The research highlighted some key differences in the way residents earn their income compared to the rest of New
Zealand. 42% of Upper Clutha residents earn their income from 2 or more sources including dividend and rents and
31% of residents are self-employed or earn their income from business. This compares to 19% and 14% respectively
for New Zealand. On the flipside, the Queenstown Lakes’ median earnings from salary and wages is lower than New
Zealand’s and one of the lowest of territorial authorities (at $22,700 compared to around $32,300 nationally)
perhaps due to seasonal workers who are often earning minimum wage.
Recommendations:
• Ensure that Phase 2 of the asset mapping exercise seeks to identify the size and nature of emerging
businesses such as the wedding industry and people working remotely.
• Investigation into gathering data on the local economy – eg % of businesses owned locally, # people working
for organisations that are located out of town, retail spend locally vs out of town.
• Investigation into gathering data on the size of the unpaid and voluntary sector of the economy.
Overview
The following information is taken from a combination of the QLDC Economic Development Strategy Feb 2015 and
the Wanaka and surrounds Annual Economic Profile 2015. Both documents are available on the council website –
see links on previous page.
Please note: Information taken from the QLDC Economic Development Strategy relates to the whole Queenstown
Lakes District. Where data relates to the Queenstown Lakes this is noted clearly.
Queenstown Lakes has experienced very strong economic (GDP) growth over the last decade (over double the New
Zealand average), with population and visitor growth providing the main stimulus. In the 12 months to March 2015
GDP in the Upper Clutha area grew by 8.3% (more than double that of New Zealand) with the construction industry
providing the largest contribution. Whilst the Rental, Hiring and Real Estate Industry declined by 9% in the same
period it is still the largest contributor to GDP.
In the Queenstown Lakes District visitor and lifestyle-related industries (accommodation, food services, rental
services and recreation services) and property and service industries (construction and construction services, general
professional services, health services, real estate) have grown strongly in the district. GDP per capita has not grown
LINK Upper Clutha Asset Mapping Phase 1 - Final Report Page 31 of 48
as fast. Employment has grown very strongly but estimated labour productivity in the District is well below the
national level and earnings from salaries and wages are relatively low. Median income from all sources is, however,
relatively high, likely reflecting that a high proportion of income is from investment and self-employment.
Queenstown Lakes Economic Strengths
• Natural amenities. The environment is revered nationally and internationally and is considered by residents
as the area’s single biggest asset. However, the District’s natural resources are facing pressure from the
growing visitor and resident population.
• The visitor economy. Tourism underpins the District’s economy, based on the outstanding natural
amenities, and supports a range of industries including accommodation and food services, arts and
recreation services, retail trade and rental services.
• Talent base. The District has a highly skilled population and workforce. Almost a quarter of the resident
working age population has tertiary qualifications (compared to 20 percent nationally) and only 11 percent
do not have a qualification. Queenstown Lakes also has the second highest proportion of the population
enrolled in industry training.
• Entrepreneurial culture. The District is well known for its history of innovative tourism developments. The
District has a high proportion of working age people who derive personal income from self-employment or
business at 28 percent, compared to the New Zealand average of 16 percent. The District also has a higher
than average business entry rate.

Major industries and employers
The economy of the Upper Clutha is very concentrated in and reliant on relatively few industries, more so than other
areas of New Zealand. These are industries that are servicing visitors and the growing population. The
accommodation and food services, construction and retail trade sectors represent 45 percent of employment, and
rental and real estate services, construction and accommodation and food services represent an estimated 38
percent of the area’s GDP.

The visitor economy is the key economic driver of the Lake Wanaka region and provides the community a better
quality of life. It generates $251 million* per year, or $687,671 per day to our economic wellbeing. More than half
the jobs in Wanaka are supported by the tourism industry (2012 – 36% tourism, 15% tourism related).
