Our Long-Term Plan sets out our service priorities, work programmes and resource requirements such as expenditure and funding for a 10-year period. We produce a new Long-Term Plan every three years, which incorporates our Annual Plan for the first of the three years.  A separate annual plan is produced for years two and three. Find out more about our Annual Plans.

Long-Term Plan 2024-34

We have been working on our next Long-Term Plan, which will cover 2024-2034.

On 28 February, the Council adopted its consultation document as we look to develop the Long-Term Plan 2024-34. This will go out for public feedback from 13 March 2024, until 14 April 2024.

The consultation document and its supporting information include:

  • The vision, strategic direction and community outcomes for the region
  • Details about the Council’s core services, work plans and activities
  • Budgets, funding and financial management strategies, policies and information
  • A 30-year infrastructure strategy
  • What the council aims to achieve over the next ten years, the rationale, and the associated costs
