Long Term Plan

Background

What is a Long Term Plan?

A Long Term Plan:

  • describes Community Outcomes for the district
  • describes the activities of the Council
  • sets out a long term focus for the decisions and activities of the Council
  • provides for integrated decision-making and coordination of Council resources
  • provides a basis for accountability to the community.
