Consultation has ended. Thanks for your feedback!
To view the adopted Annual Plan, head to our website.

This year’s Annual Plan 2022/23 consultation sees us focusing solely on the future of the Pukehina Development Rate.

Why? For 21 years we have been collecting funds towards a Pukehina wastewater scheme, but given the uncertainty around how Central Government’s Three Waters Reform Programme would affect this fund, we want your opinion on what the future use of this rate should be. We have also been asked by the Pukehina Ratepayers and Residents Association to have this conversation with the Pukehina community.

Should we keep collecting the rate to help reduce the cost of a future wastewater scheme, if one is needed? Or should future funds be repurposed for projects such as a skate park or boardwalk? Or should we take a break from collecting the rate?



What is the Annual Plan?

The Annual Plan is Council's updated plans for the coming financial year, setting out the work we are planning to undertake in your community over the next 12 months (1 July 2022 – 30 June 2023).

Through this process we consider what was outlined in the Long Term Plan and assess what changes are needed to reflect current circumstances and community needs.

Given the Long Term Plan was adopted just last year (2021), there are no big changes to what we agreed with the community through the process. The only big change that is being considered affects the Pukehina Development Rate. Which is why we are holding a specific conversation with the Pukehina community, who pay this rate.

Pay, pause or stop: the Pukehina Development Rate – Annual Plan 2022/23 Consultation Document, available to view on this page under Key Documents, provides the key information and is the basis of consultation.

If you would like further detailed information please see ‘2022/23 Annual Plan Consultation Document - Supporting Information’.

Feedback closes 5pm Thursday 21 April 2022.
