Te Mahere Pae Tawhiti
This is the Long Term Plan (LTP) for the Whakatāne District Council for the 10 year period, 2021-31. It establishes our vision and priorities, and sets the budget and work plan to implement these for the coming decade. It's a plan that focuses on the wellbeing of communities in the Whakatāne District.
While the Long Term Plan covers 10 years ahead, we renew it every three years. This is because the opportunities and challenges facing our communities and district, and the context we work in, are always evolving. This Long Term Plan replaces our previous Long Term Plan 2018-28.
The final Long Term Plan 2021-31 was adopted by Council on 14 July 2021, following consideration of all the submissions and feedback received. It’s a plan that is centred on the wellbeing of communities - focusing on the things that our communities need now, and also acknowledging our responsibility to concentrate on the future.
