The Annual Plan sets out our budget and how we will finance activities and services for the upcoming financial year.
Council adopted the 2026-2027 Annual Plan on 25 June 2026:
Council confirms 5% rates increase and establishes storm damage fund
When we plan our spending for the next financial year, we review the previous year’s financial performance, updated financial figures, cost increases and inflation, as well as resource requirements and availability.
This gives us the information we need to make any adjustments to the upcoming year’s Annual Plan.
We also take into account any new issues and review progress towards the 10-year objectives as set by the Long Term Plan.
