Best for the West - Waitakere's 10 year Plan 2009-2019

Submissions closed 5pm Friday 1 May 2009

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.

This Annual Plan 2010/2011 (year 2 of the Council's 10 Year Plan) includes 4 months to 31 October 2010, with the remaining 8 months included for Auckland Council planning purposes (taking effect from 1 November 2010)

This Long Term Council Community Plan incorporates the Annual Plan 2009/2010. It will be formally adopted by the Council on 20 March 2009, and copies will be available at the opening of the submission period on 31 March 2009.
