Public consultation
The Council is required by law to consult with residents and ratepayers about certain aspects of its business. It encourages debate and viewpoints on all consultation documents as this helps it to make the best decisions possible based on the facts and research available at the time.

Draft Long Term Plan 2012-2022
The Long Term Plan explains the Council’s priorities for the next 10 years and is adopted every three years. The Council adopts an audited draft Long Term Plan for consultation with the community. After hearing, considering and making decisions on submissions, the plan is re-audited and adopted. The community has previously been consulted on what levels of service are required and we are assuming no significant changes going forward. In the draft plan we have included our financial strategy, financing policies and forecast financial statements to show how we intend to achieve the balance between wants and needs.
This Draft Long Term Plan is Council’s proposed “contract” with our Community. Before we adopt it we are keen to hear if you agree or disagree with where we are heading. Submission closed on May 1, 2012. See this page for related documents.
