Nothing but Net is a digital strategy, purpose built by Far North communities focussed on finding a solution to the digital divide. We are advised that the approach has been accepted by all Northland councils as a foundation document for the region as a whole to build on.
The Judges said: We commend Far North for its application of a sound co-design methodology and a new (to NZ) online engagement tool. We also recognise the Council’s willingness to walk the talk and change its own internal service offerings. The Council’s recognition that digital connectivity is only limited value without sufficient levels of digital literacy to take best advantage of the opportunity. We look forward to hearing more of the progress of the rollout, and of the steps Council and community take to developing digital literacy in the Far North.
