Long Term Planning

No annual plan consultation this year

Waitakere City Council is not consulting on an annual plan in 2010.

The Government's legislative changes to the structure of Auckland's local government mean councils can simply adopt last year's annual plan (year two of the ten-year plan 2009 to 2019) as this year's annual plan, without the need for consultation.

This is a pragmatic response to the Auckland Council transition process that enables Waitakere City Council to focus on the priorities required to transition smoothly to the new Auckland Council, while maintaining our normal levels of service to the public.

This Annual Plan 2010/2011 (year 2 of the Council's 10 Year Plan) includes 4 months to 31 October 2010, with the remaining 8 months included for Auckland Council planning purposes (taking effect from 1 November 2010)

Introduction

Every three years the Council must produce a Long Term Council Community Plan, which sets out priorities for the decade ahead to deliver on clear goals that have been agreed between the Council and the community.

The Local Government Act provides a legal framework for the production and communication of council plans.

The purpose of the long term plan is to:

describe the activities of the Council
describe the community outcomes desired for the city
provide integrated decision making (between the Council and the community) and co-ordination of resources
provide a long term focus for the Council's decision and activities
provide a basis for accountability to the Waitakere City community
provide an opportunity for community participation in planning for the future
