BOP Regional Council Proposed Long Term Plan 2024-2034

Lynn Neighbourly Lead from Ngongotaha

Kia ora Koutou, Katoa, Hi Everyone,

'Heads Up'

I attended an information meeting last week.
This proposed Long Term Plan is currently open for submissions until 4pm on Tuesday 9 April 2024.

Cr Kevin Winters was very informative and the discussion held covered all aspects presented in the Consultation Document.

There are three main Consultation Topics;
1. How should we fund public transport in urban centres across the region?

2. Do you agree with our proposal to enable a managed sell down or our Port of Tauranga Limited shareholding to no less than 28% ?

3. Should Regional Council investigate new opportunities for regional parks?

Cr Kevin Winters gave us a 'user friendly' information sheet regarding Proposal 2 regarding the Port of Tauranga. See attached.

There is still time to complete a submission if you wish.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
