Xyst was brought on board after a thorough risk and performance evaluation of the Mackenzie District Council’s parks and community facilities operations. Xyst was then asked to fill a sudden staff management gap, which quickly evolved into a long-term commitment to manage the District’s public facilities, parks, and community spaces.
Throughout this period, Xyst’s team has provided crucial support to the Council. This has included service reviews, the creation of an asset register, the development of an Asset Management Plan (AMP), the crafting of a Reserve Management Plan (RMP), alongside contributions to the Council’s Long-Term Plan (LTP) and Annual Plan (AP). Additionally, Xyst has formulated various strategies, policies, and bylaws to guide future projects and operations.
In addition to operational tasks, Xyst has project managed a programme of outstanding capital projects and spearheaded initiatives aimed at enhancing the District’s amenities. Xyst has also conducted tree assessments, handled GIS work, and successfully secured funding through the Tourism Infrastructure Fund (TIF) and Better Off Fund. Furthermore, Xyst has also implemented quality auditing measures for the Council’s contractors, ensuring performance standards are met and improved upon.
