Have your say on Annual Plan 2025-26 and Local Water Done Well
We've just launched two major consultations: Annual Plan 2025-26 and Local Water Done Well. Find them both here:
www.wdc.govt.nz...
Annual Plan 2025-26 sets out all the planning, projects, rates, and spending for the coming year. It is in line with our Long Term Plan (LTP) focus on infrastructure, planning with growth in mind, and making sure income covers costs. We are seeking feedback on 3 topics about rates.
Local Water Done Well (LWDW) is about how water infrastructure and services are managed. We're proposing two options: an "in-house business unit", or teaming up with neighbouring Councils for a Northland Council Controlled Organisation (CCO). Our preferred option is the in-house business unit.
Consultation on both topics is open until 5:00pm on Friday 2 May 2025. A series of 3 "drop in session" events begins on Thursday 8 April 2025 in Ruakākā (details are on the Have Your Say pages).
