Annual Plans and Long Term Plans

We follow the advice of the Local Government Act, which requires us to produce and follow three kinds of plans. These are our Long Term Plan, our Annual Plan, and our Annual Report.


10 Year Plan 2024 - 2034

Whāia te pae tawhiti | Taking the next steps

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. We have just gone Live with our new 10 Year Plan for 2024-2034, please check it out here:

Annual Plans

We prepare an Annual Plan for each financial year between our LTP review years. For example, when we updated our Long Term Plan in 2024 we didn't produce an Annual Plan for that year.

The Annual Plan is more operational than the LTP. It includes our annual budget and the funding impact statement for the year, and any significant variations from the current Long Term Plan. Our financial year runs from 1 July to 30 June.
