Long-Term Plans

Long Term Plan 2024-34

The Long Term Plan 2024-34 was adopted on 26 June 2024. The final documents are available below. For more background information on the development of the plan or to read the submissions received from the community during consultation - click 'find out more'.

Our 10 year plan sets out our direction and work programme. It lets you know what we will be doing - the services we will provide and the projects we will undertake, how much it costs, how we intend to pay for it, and how we will measure quality and our effectiveness.

The issues we face and the context within which we work are continually evolving. For this reason, a Long-Term Plan is produced every three years.

Our current LTP was adopted by Council on 26 June 2024.
