Welcome to our 2017 – 2018 Annual Plan update.
This coming financial year will be Year 3 of our 2015 - 2025 Long Term Plan. The good news is we are maintaining the course set in the Long Term Plan, so there are no significant changes, issues or projects requiring public input.
Consequently, we are pleased to provide an update on where we are at with the programmes and projects flagged for 2017/18, and what impact these will have. This is in keeping with changes to the Local Government Act 2002 that allow us more flexible and meaningful engagement with our community.
2017 - 2018 Annual Plan Update
As always, we welcome your feedback on any aspects of what we are doing. You might want to let us know about projects or issues we should be talking about when we review our Long Term Plan next year.
Now is also the time to approach us if a group or organisation you are involved in would like to apply for a grant from the Council.
