Balancing ‘needs and wants’ and living within our means are the key challenges for the upcoming 2024-2034 Long Term Plan.
 
With our small rating base, increasing demands and three waters driven debt level, we are facing significant affordability issues leaving little headroom for new initiatives or requirements.
 
At this stage we have a range of areas and issues that communities have raised as important to them that we need help with to narrow down to key priorities for the next Long Term Plan.
