No annual plan consultation this year
Waitakere City Council is not consulting on an annual plan in 2010.
The Government’s legislative changes to the structure of Auckland’s local
government mean councils can simply adopt last year’s annual plan (year two of
the ten-year plan 2009 to 2019) as this year’s annual plan, without the need for
consultation.
This is a pragmatic response to the Auckland Council transition process that
enables Waitakere City Council to focus on the priorities required to transition
smoothly to the new Auckland Council, while maintaining our normal levels of
service to the public.
Council will prepare an annual plan for the four months July to October 2010
only, in advance of the new Auckland Council commencing business on 1 November.

The Annual Plan sets out the services and activities the
Council will deliver, what it will cost and how it will be
paid for. Each Plan is issued twice. First as a Draft Plan
for the public to comment on and submit to. The Council
makes any amendments that need to be made as a result of the
public input, and then the finalised Plan for the year is
issued.
In 2009, the Council produced a Long Term Council
Community Plan. Every three years the Council must produce a
Long Term Council Community Plan, which sets out priorities
for the decade ahead to deliver on clear goals that have
been agreed between the Council and the community.
The Long Term Plan for 2009-2019 incorporates the annual
planning for 2009.
