Tauranga Moana Tauranga Tangata - Our Place Our People Main photo credit: GPS-it. WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Annual Plan for 2014/2015.
The plan:
• sends a clear signal that things have changed following the 2013 local body elections where the community told us they wanted a new approach to how Council operates
• provides a detailed plan for how the Council will deliver on the city’s services and activities for the next twelve months and establishes priorities for investment in projects that will bring more vibrancy to our city
• acknowledges that many issues will require longer term solutions and these are best addressed through the upcoming Ten Year Plan process.
An Annual Plan is a detailed budget for a specific year and is part of Council’s ten year planning cycle which is reviewed and updated every three years in consultation with the community.
This Annual Plan represents the third year of Council’s Ten Year Plan 2012/2022.
We would like to acknowledge and thank all those people who have assisted us with the preparation of this Annual Plan.

MANDATORY MEASURES
What this measure tells us Measure Data Source 2012/13 Results 2014/15 Target
Mandatory Measures • These are a standard set of performance measures that all Council’s must measure for core activities. • They are required to be reported on in 2015/16, but TCC have chosen to start measuring these in the 2014/15 year.
LEVELS OF SERVICE
What this measure tells us Measure Data Source 2012/13 Results 2014/15 Target
Levels of Service Identify the key services that Council provides and the level (timeframe, quantity, quality, location etc) to which it commits to providing them. • As these are statements about what Council provides, the target is then simply that this level of service is achieved. • The Annual Report will include explanations for any levels of service that have not been met.

MINOR Amendments to the REVENUE & FINANCING POLICY A review of Council’s Revenue and Financing Policy has been undertaken by staff to ensure compliance with the Local Government Act 2002 and align with best practice policies from other Councils.
A key change is incorporating Council’s Rating Policy into Council’s Revenue and Financing Policy to ensure complete transparency within the policy. There have also been some minor wording changes to ensure consistency of language throughout the five financial tools that support TCC’s rating and funding approach. These changes have been through a legal review by Simpson Grierson.
A full copy of the amended Revenue and Financing Policy 2014 follows. Significant changes are in bold italics.
