This booklet contains detailed results from the TacklingPovertyNZ 2016 tour post-workshop surveys.
On the tour, we wanted to invite feedback from participants along the way and report what we heard. To
this end, a post-workshop survey for each of the six areas visited was made available online. Each survey
was open to the public but directed particularly at workshop participants and attendees of the evening
presentation. The surveys were a mechanism to collect feedback on the workshop process and to further
refine the ‘hows’ developed at that workshop.
Each survey asked respondents to rate the ‘hows’ developed at that workshop from ‘not a great idea’ to
‘a really interesting idea’. The survey also allowed space for comments and any additional ‘hows’ that
may have been missed or thought of since the workshop. The additonal ‘hows’ are shared in the section
relevant to the survey they were suggested in. The comments from the survey are explained in more detail
throughout each workshop discussion paper.
The number of respondents varied significantly, with the most being 34 from Rotorua compared to
two from Kaikohe. This amounted to an overall lower number of survey responses than we had hoped,
but nonetheless provided a useful insight into the areas we visited. In alignment with our pre-workshop
experiences, we understood Rotorua to be an Internet-savvy area, while Kaikohe lacked some of the
fundamental infrastructure for Internet access. Survey responses may have been further limited due to
issues obtaining email addresses upon registration and legibility of the email addresses that we did receive.
