Annual Plan – Frequently Asked Questions
Overview
The Annual Plan is a one-year snapshot of Council’s intended work programme for the year beginning 1 July 2010. It draws extensively from Year Two of the 2009-19 Long Term Council Community Plan (LTCCP). The LTCCP represents Council’s primary long term planning document for the next ten years and is next reviewed in full in 2012.
Where an LTCCP is not required, an Annual Plan is prepared to give an outline of what is proposed for the next financial year and summarise any major variations from the current LTCCP. The Annual Plan outlines what the Council is planning to do, how much it will cost and how it will be paid for.

Annual Plan - Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the Annual Plan?
The Annual Plan is a one-year snapshot of Council’s intended work programme for the year beginning 1 July 2010. All local authorities are required to prepare and consult on an Annual Plan under Section 95 of the Local Government Act 2002.
The Annual Plan outlines what the Council is planning to do, how much it will cost and how it will be paid for.
How is the Annual Plan developed?
The 2010/11 Annual Plan draws extensively from Year Two of the 2009-19 Long Term Council Community Plan (LTCCP) that represents Council’s primary long term planning document. The Plan outlines any changes that have happened since the LTCCP was developed and presents updated financial and rating information.
Council met in March/April to consider the Draft Annual Plan and adopted it for consultation. Now it’s your opportunity to have your say.
So, what’s in the Draft Annual Plan?
The Draft Annual Plan includes information about:
-
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 Annual Plan includes an overview of these activities for 2010/11, including the levels of service we’ll provide, key work that is planned, how the Council will measure our performance and how much it will cost.
-
Planned Projects – A summary of key projects planned for each activity, from widening the seal on local roads to refurbishing leisure facilities.
-
The Figures – Detailed and overall financial information is included in the Annual Plan, including the costs of providing Council services and how they’ll be paid for and what your rates might look like in the 2010/11 year.
-
Variations – Sprinkled throughout the plan are a number of references to how the plan has changed to what was forecast in Year Two of the 2009-19 LTCCP.
