Our Long Term Plan 2018-2028 next
steps
Consultation has now closed on our
2018-2028 Long Term Plan.
Staff are busily collating
submissions and undertaking initial analysis of the points
raised for consideration by our Community Boards and
Council. A total of 775 submissions were received – a huge
amount of feedback from our communities that our elected
members are looking forward to engaging with.
“Thanks
to everyone who made a submission,” says our Mayor Sandra
Goudie. “The level of feedback has been outstanding and
reflects the fact that people are really involved and
interested in what’s going on.”
The next steps
are:
• Council hearing of submitters in the week 30
April - 4 May.
• Community Board deliberation meetings
(on community facilities such as reserves, halls and
cemeteries, and on local grants) in the week 7-11
May.
• Council deliberation meetings on all submissions
received in the week 14-18 May.
• Council adopt the
final 2018-2028 Long Term Plan at their meeting on 26
June.
• From 1 July 2018 we implement the Long Term
Plan.
The following meetings are all open to the public
and we invite those interested in the rest of this process
to come along.
