What’s an LTCCP?

The Long Term Council Community Plan is a ten-year planning document that presents a blueprint for the future delivery of Council services and sets out what the Council will do to make the Timaru district a better place.

This is the Council’s third LTCCP (they are reviewed three yearly) and it presents our proposal on what the Council is aiming to deliver over the next ten years.

So, what’s in the LTCCP?
The LTCCP includes:

• Community Outcomes – identified through the Talking Tomorrow project, these are statements that express the community’s medium and long-term aspirations for Timaru District.
  
  
• Council Activities – Council provides a huge range of activities, some of which you use everyday. The water that comes from your tap, using the playground at the local park, getting books from your local library and ducking into the public toilet down the road are just a few of these. The LTCCP includes an overview of these activities, including the levels of service we’ll provide, the future day-to-day and capital work programme and how much it will cost.
  
  
• The Figures – Every plan has to include the dollars, and the LTCCP is no exception. Detailed and overall financial information is included in the LTCCP, including the costs of providing these services into the future and how they’ll be paid for and what your rates might look like in the future.
  
  
• Policies and….more policies – Policies that the Council use to make decisions and run Council operations are also included. A couple of examples are the Revenue and Financing Policy which sets out how an activity will be funded (e.g. rates or fees) and the Investment Policy that details the Council approach to its investments.
