Don Cameron JP Clive Manley MAYOR CHIEF EXECUTIVE RUAPEHU DISTRICT COUNCIL – ANNUAL REPORT 2017/18 SECTION 1 - PAGE 5 WHAT IS AN ANNUAL REPORT The local authority is required to produce a plan showing how it will achieve the purpose of Local Government that is to meet the current and future needs of the community. The local authority demonstrates its contribution towards this purpose in the setting of Strategic Goals (SGs) and in the development of a Long Term Plan (LTP). The LTP describes what a local authority aims to achieve over a minimum period of ten years. The LTP must be produced once every three years, with an Exceptions Annual Plan (EAP) for the years in between. The EAP provides the budget for the coming year and explains any changes from the LTP. The first year of the LTP is the EAP for that year. The Annual Report is used to monitor the local authority’s progress against the SGs and work programmes identified in the 2015-25 LTP and against budgets contained within the 2017/18 EAP.

Suitable for all abilities of cyclists, the trail includes a mixture of off and on-road trail, which can be enjoyed in sections or in its entirety.

Dean owns DA 1429 which he purchased form Tony Batchelor when the loco was returned to Tony after a period on hire with TranzRail and the subsequent completion of a network-running certificate at Hutt Workshops. Although the certification has now expired, it does mean that restoring it should hopefully be a formality. Dean already holds a Rail Service License. Ninety percent of the work that Dean’s company carries out is for OnTrack. He delivers new loose and assembled track materials to rail sites all over the upper North Island and also loads and removes for custody, surplus track materials recovered from upgrades. He has a fleet of big trucks for this work and was recently involved relocating L 507 to and from Ohakune for the 2008 Parliamentary Special trains. Dean has not yet firmly established what role DA 1429 will play in the future but believes that FRONZ could be helpful in negotiating a place for his company as a Heritage Vehicle Provider.
