All councils in New Zealand must produce a Long Term Plan (LTP) every three years. In between we produce Annual Plans.
The LTP outlines the long-term vision for the Clutha District and set out the services, projects and infrastructure Council intends to deliver to the community over a 10-year period and how these will be funded. It is a key planning document. The LTP also ensures Council is providing for the future in a sustainable way and it gives the community the opportunity to participate in a key decision-making process.
In summary, it sets out the 'what, where, when, how and cost' of the all the services, facilities and infrastructure Council plans to provide over the next 10 years.
In April 2021 we published our consultation document for the Long Term Plan. Read it here.
An updated version of the This policy took effect from 1 July 2022 and replaces the version included in the 2021 Long Term Plan.
