Annual Plan 2022/23

Consultation on the Draft Annual Plan closed at 5pm on 19 May. 

The Draft Annual Plan is the second year of the Council’s 10-year work programme which was set, in consultation with the community, through last year’s Long-Term Plan 2021-2031.

For the most part our plans haven’t altered significantly and there are no major changes of direction. The Draft Annual Plan is a chance to check in with the community and consult on four proposed projects as well as seeking feedback on the overall programme for the year.

The proposed projects are new or variations from what we proposed in the Long-Term Plan 2021-2031. These are:

• a change in proposal for the funding of the Hororātā Community Club
• closure of parts of the Upper Ellesmere Water Race
• changes to water race rating across the district
• a proposal for investing in biodiversity through a $20 Ecological Enhancement targeted rate and harmonisation of Land Drainage rates.
