Long-term Plans and Annual Plan
Every three years we work with our community on a long-term plan (LTP) that sets out our budget and work plans for the coming decade. In each of the two years between every LTP, we create an annual plan. Annual plans are the budgets and activity plans developed by Council for the year ahead. They include details on the main activities financials and user fees and charges.
