Long Term Plan

The Long Term Plan (LTP) sets Council's strategic direction and work programme for the 10 years ahead. It outlines the services we will provide, the projects we will undertake, the cost of doing this work, how it will be paid for and how we will measure our performance. Our LTP also incorporates a range of financial policies. Every three years we review the Long Term Plan in consultation with the community. 

Long Term Plan 2024 - 2027

We're preparing the new Long Term Plan (LTP) for 2024-2027. The new plan is planned to be adopted in late July 2024.

A shortened Long Term Plan with a focus on recovery was approved by Kaipara District Council in September 2023. The decision follows a severe weather emergency recovery order offered by central Government. The order suspends the statutory requirement to produce a ten year audited long-term plan for eight councils severely affected by this year’s weather events. Instead, eight councils are able to adopt a three-year, unaudited plan with a focus on recovery. Read more about the decision in our media release

Sign up to People’s Panel now to receive an invitation to provide feedback as soon as consultation opens in April.

Please note that our Māori Freehold Land Rates Postponement and Remission Policy was reviewed in 2021 and has been updated. The version of the policy included in the LTP is now no longer valid.
