Long Term Plan

The Local Government Act 2002 (LGA) requires every council to produce a Long Term Plan (LTP) every three years.

The LTP outlines our activities and priorities for the next 10 years, providing a long term focus for decision-making. It also explains how work will be scheduled and funded.

Under the LGA, LTPs must be reviewed every three years with full consultation with the public each time. An Annual Plan is developed in the years in between.

If you would like to receive notifications regarding the LTP please email haveyoursay@kaipara.govt.nz to be added to our contact list.

If you would like to address Council in regards to the LTP please email council@kaipara.govt.nz.

Community involvement in the district’s 10-year-plan will be starting early for the LTP 2018/2028.

In addition to formal consultation which is taking place now, and issuing a Consultation Document to get community input on key issues and decisions, Council will be adding an extra step; early community engagement.

Council is taking this approach because we want to get a better picture of what the community wants before we develop the plan. It is about gathering ideas, knowledge and information from our community and feeding that into the process early on. Earlier engagement will give us time to consider projects, costs and options and review existing asset management plans and work programmes to better inform the LTP process.

You can send us an email to haveyoursay@kaipara.govt.nz.
