2019/20 ANNUAL PLAN
The current financial year is the first year of implementation of our Long Term Plan (LTP) 2018/28. The LTP sets our strategic direction in terms of our vision for the future of our district. The Annual Plan Consultation Document for 2019/20 has some new ideas we’d like to have your feedback on as a result of listening to the community and reviewing activities against our Strategic Plan.
The new ideas could be implemented for additional cost and result in additional rate increases, so we need to prioritise and get your feedback. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read the Consultation Document and making a submission.
Consultation Document
The Consultation Document is Council’s formal consultation method and will focus on the key issues the Council wants to discuss with residents. The Consultation Document [PDF] [ebook] and Supporting Documentation is available online, with hard copies available from libraries and the Council office from the 10 April 2019.
