What is a Ten Year Plan?
Every three years, local authorities, in consultation with their communities, put together a new Ten Year Plan that describes the goals of the Council over the next ten years and how the they plan to achieve these.
The purpose of long-term plans is to:
- Describe the community outcomes
- Describe the council’s activities
- Provide integrated decision-making and co-ordination of the resources
- Provide a long-term focus
- Provide a basis for accountability to the community
- Provide an opportunity for participation by the public in decision-making
- Processes on activities to be undertaken by the local authority.
- Councils must use a special consultative procedure in adopting and amending these plans.
Ten Year Plans are revised every three years. Community Outcomes are revised every 6 years.
What is an activity?
An 'activity' is a term that describes a service that we provide for the community. We review every 'activity' during the Ten Year plan process.
We offer 28 seperate activities. A list of the activities can be viewed from the related information box on this page.
What is a level of service?
Each activity has a level of service attached to it, which describes the type of service the customer will receive. They are a contract with the community.
