Submissions have closed for public feedback on our Annual Plan 2023/2024, which contains our proposed budget for the coming financial year.

We have received over 140 submissions. If you have made a submission, thank you for your input. We will now take these thoughts and comments and table them with Councillors for their consideration during the hearings and deliberations stage.

The next step will be hearings followed by deliberations on 8 & 9 June, with 14 June as a back-up day if required. Councillors will give staff direction to prepare the draft Annual Plan which will be tabled for adoption at the 28 June Council meeting.

There is a 30-day time period allowed for minor tweaks and preparation of the final document for publishing before 28 July.
