Public engagement on the 2025-2026 Annual Plan has closed.
Council has improved the way it undertakes annual planning in an effort to get early community input in a simple way, particularly feedback and ideas on the services and projects proposed in next year’s Annual Plan, which covers the period 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026.
An initial assessment of your ideas on how we achieve our community outcomes will be considered at the Economic Finance and Community committee meeting on 11 February. These will then be analysed with final levels of service papers presented to Council’s budget meeting on 8 May 2025.
The next full public consultation will be for the Long Term Plan 2027-37, with a public engagement process expected to begin in November 2026. Council will continue to consult the community on other proposed projects and service changes, such as the Water Services Delivery Plan.
