2021 - 2031 Long Term Plan


Almost there…

19 April 2021

Adoption of the draft Long Term Plan and Consultation Documents is scheduled for 7 May 2021.

Following the adoption of the documents, consultation will open to the public on 10 May and continue until midday on 11 June. The Consultation Document, draft LTP and other relevant supporting information will be available on our website.

The Consultation Document is a summary of the contents of the draft Long Term Plan and provides information about proposed rates and borrowing, the proposed capital plan for the next 10 years and the proposed strategy for funding Council’s work. Within it, Councillors are asking the community to consider three issues, and provide feedback on what decisions will be most beneficial to the community:

  • Is our Uniform Annual General Charge set at the right level?
  • Should we transfer ownership of our elderly housing portfolio to Destination Westland?
  • If we should invest in further improvements to the Hokitika Centennial Swimming Pool?

Councillors would also like to know the community’s thoughts on the proposed Rates Remission – Adverse Possession Policy.

Keep an eye on our website for the documents and how to make a submission.
