Consultation has concluded

We're planning for the next 10 years, and we need your input to make sure we're on the right track.

Council’s Long-Term Financial Plan (LTFP) provides a roadmap for the long-term financial position of Council. It provides for the future security and liveability of the City, and the wellbeing of its residents through budgeted actions that are achievable and sustainable.

The LTFP is the primary financial management tool that links together the Council's Community Plan 2033, 4-Year Delivery Plan and Asset Management Plans.

While the LTFP covers the next ten years, we review it every year. This is because the opportunities and challenges facing our community, and the way we work is always evolving.

The LTFP forecasts:

  • Current service levels can be maintained with rate stability.
  • An average operating surplus ratio of 5.1% will be achieved for the life of the LTFP in line with the target of 5%.
  • The Asset Management Plans are fully funded to undertake the asset renewals needed.
  • Sufficient funding has been distributed to progressively deliver new and upgraded infrastructure, and
  • Council has the borrowing capacity to respond should unforeseen circumstances or opportunities arise.

Here's what we'd love to hear from you:

  1. Financial Confidence: How confident are you in our Long-term Financial Plan's ability to keep us strong for the next 10 years?
  2. Upgrades and new infrastructure: How do you think Council should fund the construction of new or upgrade of existing infrastructure?
  3. Asset Sustainability: Do you think we are investing enough in asset renewal?
  4. New Projects: Are you comfortable with our plans for borrowing?
  5. Your Concerns and Ideas: Got any objections, or anything else you want to share about our financial plans? We're all ears!
Your feedback fuels our decisions, so please take a moment to share your views through our short survey.
