Annual Plan

The Annual Plan is prepared in the years between each Ten Year Plan and sets out the budget for the year, and the sources of funding for the year. Once the Ten Year Plan is in place, the Annual Plan process continues but the focus is on year-to-year budgets. The annual plans produced in the intervening years support the Ten Year Plan, and their primary purpose is to provide the base for setting and assessing of rates.

Annual Plans are prepared under the provisions of the Local Government Act 2002.
