Long Term Plan (LTP)
The Long Term Plan is a comprehensive statement of the Council's intentions for the next 10 years. It sets out our direction and work programme.
Deferral of the Long Term Plan 2024 -2034
Instead of an LTP, Council produced an Enhanced Annual Plan for 2024/25 that continues implementing year four of the Long-term Plan 2021-2031.
The Minister for Local Government (Hon Simeon Brown) highlighted on Tuesday, February 13 2024, the coalition government's plan for the next 12-18 months to implement Local Water Done Well into legislation and to repeal the Water Services Legislation. As part of that announcement, Central Government have given three different options as to when the Council will be required to adopt the Long-Term Plan:
- Option 1 – Adopt LTP by June 30 2024
- Option 2 – 3-month deferral, adopt final by 30 September 2024
- Option 3 – Defer the LTP, which was due to be adopted on the June 30 2024 and undertake a reduced 9-year long-term plan from June 2025 - June 2034. With this option it would require an Enhanced Annual Plan for this financial year which needs to be adopted by June 2024
Council decided to go with option 3.
The ‘enhanced’ annual plan highlights the activities the Council will be involved in for 2024-2025, including major issues and projects where there are variations from our original estimates from Year four of the LTP 2021-2031. It details what the Council plans to spend in the year ahead and how it will be paid for.
Council will develop a 9-year plan for the period 2025 - 2034 and consult with the community on this LTP in 2025.
