Long Term Plan 2024-2034
We're consulting on our Long Term Plan (LTP) and we want to hear from you! Our Draft Long Term Plan 2024-2034 was formally adopted on 1 May 2024. Everything you need to know about the LTP and what we are consulting on can be found in our consultation document.
Our consultation period was from 1 May 2024 - 31 May 2024.
What exactly is a Long Term Plan?
Really simply, the Long Term Plan (LTP) is a roadmap outlining what your Council wants to achieve and how it will be funded over the next 10 years. It outlines the activities, services, and projects we intend on delivering, and determines when, where and how we will deliver them.
It’s time for a check in. By law, the Long Term Plan must be reviewed every three years, and the last LTP was reviewed in 2021. Plenty has changed since then, Cyclone Gabrielle, changes to our Covid-19 response, high cost of living - certainly time for a fresh look.
Think of this consultation document, as a condensed version of the Long Term Plan. We use this opportunity to get your input on key issues, so that we can shape our decisions together.
The 2024-2034 Long Term Plan will come into operation from July 2024.
Here is a list of all the consultation events we will be attending and hosting accross the district during this period. Come along and chat with your Mayor and Councillors about what you want for the future of the Tararua District. We would love to see you there.
