Annual Plan 2019/20 - Have your say!
We're proposing a number of changes to our budgets and work programme, for the coming year, that were not anticipated when we adopted our Long Term Plan 2018-28 last year.
The proposed changes will allow us to partner with Central Government to undertake some transformational projects for our District. For example, we have a chance now to unlock some very significant Government funding to support marine and tourism sector development through waterfront and town centre regeneration; and to bring forward road safety and active transport projects.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
