In the coming decade we aim to consolidate recent gains. This means investing in existing assets and working within the income the District generates. In order to do this, we have had to increase our income and limit debt-funded projects of the type completed in recent years. That said, we still need to move our District forward and invest enough for it to grow and prosper, while continuing to work within our means and focus on maintaining current assets. This has been no easy balancing act. ute inifiant det a nt an tin ti unil and umiin n ti lan ed it i nt an tin u community, either. However we do need to ensure our current assets are robust and in good shape for a secure future. Putting off their upkeep is not an option. We also need to balance our budget, with our operational expenditure matching our inme e mut ntinue t find efiienie and ae t and lel it our partners and contractors to ensure we are getting value for our ratepayer’s money. So, how do we live within our means and advance at the same time? We still need to move our District forward and invest A growing District requires growing infrastructure – roads, waste networks, water supply – and new infrastructure must be maintained. Newcomers and enough for it to grow and eitin eident all enefit ut ntin me ee e need t e mat prosper, while continuing to about this by funding growth through a mixture of development contributions work within our means and from those investing in new developments, and through general rates from the ateae al enefit m te aet focus on maintaining current d e eme me efiient and till d te ind u te mmunit assets. expects? This is the crux of the matter. If we are to continue to provide the levels of service expected in this day and age, we need to earn enough to do so. Basing any increase in our income solely on the Local Government Cost Index will not work. Service levels would slide backwards year-by-year, reducing Whangarei’s attractiveness and the lifestyle we cherish. Through the LTP process we have seen how hard it is to balance the ideas and opinions of the 14 councillors, the 1,024 submitters and also those residents we aent ead m u final deiin ill leae me ele and diaint te although we have noticed a community-wide resolve to support necessary choices for the good of all. me difiult deiin ae ad t e made et ea eidential ate ill ineae at an average of 9% followed by an average of 4.8% in following years This approach allows us to maintain assets, accommodate growth, maintain levels of service and provide a sustainable path forward. Even with this increase, our residential rates remain among the lowest, per capita, in the country. The rates increase for the commercial sector has impacted on some commercial property owners more than others. We have listened to your feedback and, as a result, will conduct a comprehensive review of our rating policies ahead of next year’s Annual Plan. I encourage those who are disappointed the projects or initiatives they supported have not been included in the Plan, or been addressed to their satisfaction, to keep trying. Projects that are dreams today often come over the horizon slowly, and persistence does enable support to grow. Time also disposes of ideas that don’t have long-term or broad support. I thank those who have contributed, commented on and participated in guiding our LTP decision making. We are endeavouring to do the best we can for the majority of residents, and appreciate your support. HER WORSHIP THE MAYOR SHERYL MAI 4 WHAT IS A LONG TERM PLAN?
