Long-term Plan 2024–34
Our Long-term Plan (LTP) outlines to our community how we intend to invest for the next 10+ years. Any year there is not an LTP review and we have significant projects that require public feedback, we will develop an Annual Plan.
We have now opened our consultation period for the 2024–34 LTP.
Submissions for the 2024–34 LTP close at 5pm, Friday 26 April 2024.

The city's plan
The Long-term Plan tells the story of why we are focusing on the areas we are, what you told us, what was agreed. It also sets out all the detail of the Financial and Infrastructure strategies, the Revenue and Financing Policy, and the Significance and Engagement Policy.
Performance framework
A performance framework isn't just our performance measures. It includes the Council's strategic priorities, the levels of service we set, and how we measure our performance. A good framework has a strong link from the strategic priorities to the performance measures. Our activities are not independent. They all contribute to the outcomes the Council is trying to achieve.

For the LTP for 2021–2051 LTP, we examined our performance, identified areas for improvement in our current budgets, developed strategic priorities, and spoke with residents and business owners. This was not a "business as usual" LTP for several reasons, such as increased population growth, urgent infrastructure issues (like the state of our water network and its impacts on our harbour), the housing crisis, the effects of climate change, and the ongoing effects of Covid-19. This is the current LTP and we are consulting on the 2024–34 LTP at the moment (until 26 April 2024). You can view the consultation information in our LTP engagement portal.
