Carterton’s Ten Year Plan – Te Māhere Ngahurutanga
Carterton’s Ten year Plan, more commonly known as the Long Term Plan(LTP), is the Council’s key planning document. Its purpose is to enhance transparency and accountability to the Carterton community by outlining the activities of the Council over the next ten years, including costs and funding. Consulting on a draft plan is another step in the ongoing process to understand community needs and how to best respond to them.
It also provides a link to other Council planning documents, plus regional and national documents that are relevant to the Council.
Development of the LTP requires the Council to look at the ‘big picture’ as well as focusing on planning on a year-to-year basis. The LTP sets out the short, medium, and long-term priorities of the Council and shows how the Council will contribute to the four well-beings (social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being) and achieve progress towards the community outcomes.
Submissions for the 2021-2031 Ten Year Plan will open on 18 March 2021 and closed at noon 19 April.
We welcome you to make your submission in writing or come and talk to us at the Ten Year Plan Hearings on 5 and 6 May.
