Welcome to the 2021 - 2031 Long Term Plan

The Long Term Plan is one of our main planning tools – a 10 year look ahead that we review and talk about with our community every three years.

The plan sets out the activities, services and projects we intend to deliver (including the when, where, and how) and how we’re planning to fund it.  Ultimately, it tells you what your rates may look like over the next decade.  The sections below outline the various documents and way to have your say.

The consultation document

The Long Term Plan is not just about “us” as a Council deciding what’s going to happen.  We work for the benefit of our community and want to hear what you think.  Which is the purpose of this consultation document.

You can also view a recent Havelock North Parking Study here, which is linked to one of the consultation items.
