The 10 Year Plan, also known as the Long Term Plan (LTP), is council’s key strategic document. It sets out our priorities for the next 10 years, including what we will do, how much it will cost and how we will fund it. It’s reviewed every three years to make sure it is still relevant and accurate.
Check out some of the early thinking about our priorities.
