Consider the following options:
-
Consultants - this is probably the most common source of overload and technical assistance.
-
One council providing services to another council - the transfer of limited functions between councils, particularly regional and district councils, is not unusual.
-
Part-time/lifestyle/retired planners - these planners may accept short-term contract work. However, these contractors may have limited availability and capacity.
-
Two or more councils sharing an extra staff member.
