We need to check with our communities that we are still on the right track for building a great South Waikato for our children and grandchildren. Below are the links to our current Long Term Plan (2009-19).

Council's draft Long Term Plan 2012-22 is now closed for public consultation.  Council would like to thank the community for its feedback.  Public hearings will be held on Tuesday 15 and Wednesday 16 May 2012.  Council will continue with deliberations on Friday 18 May.  Members of the public are welcome to attend to listen to submitters present their submissions to Council and to Council deliberations.  This is a public process.

Current Long Term Plan

Every three years Council produces a Long Term Plan or 10 year plan. This plan looks closely at the first three years and then takes a more general view of the outlying seven years. The most recent Long Term Plan (Vision the 10 year plan) was produced in 2009 and looks to 2019. Council will repeat this process in 2012, looking out to 2022.

The 10 year plan contains a 10 year programme of Council activities, forecast expenditure and intended revenue sources.  All district and and regional Councils are required to have a Long Term Plan.

The Long Term Plan is a large document so we have broken it down into parts:

• Vision, the 10 year plan (Vol 1, Part 1 - Chapters 1 to 4)
  • Telling the Story: Who and what we are
• Vision, the 10 year plan (Vol 1, Part 2 - Chapters 5 to 11)
  • What we do and why
• Vision, the 10 year plan (Vol 1, Part 3 - Chapters 12 to 16)
  • Activity Groups
• Vision, the 10 year plan (Vol 1, Part 4 - Chapters 17 to 23)
  • Finances
• Vision, the 10 year plan (Vol 2)
  • Policies
  • Asset Management Plans Summaries
  • NRB Customer Satisfaction Survey results - 2008
  • State of the District Report Summary
