The Long-term Plan sets out the Council's vision for the community and its strategy and plans for 10 years, along with the budgets needed to deliver them.  It also includes a longer 30-year plan for how infrastructure will be managed and maintained.
The Long-term Plan is a legally required and audited document, which must be published by Councils every three years. In between, Council must provide an Annual Plan that outlines where there are delivery or budget variances to the Long-term Plan. 

Council is currently delivering the 2024-2033 Long-term Plan, which can be found here, and development of the 2027-2037 Long-term Plan has commenced. 

Councillor-only workshops are opportunities for Councillors and Mana Whenua representatives to receive updates, discuss ideas and provide direction to staff on what issues they would like to make decisions on in Council and committee meetings.   

These workshops are not open for public participation, although the Councillors may request specific guests to present to them as part of the process.
