What happened to this consultation?

We sought your feedback on our plan for the capital's future.

We're in good shape financially and able to limit next year’s rates rise to 3.3%, However, we've experienced economic and population growth, which have brought fresh challenges. These include housing affordability and transport, as well as resilience following last November’s earthquake.

Key dates

  • Adoption of the Annual Plan 28 June

Looking  ahead – Long-term Plan 2018–28 

We have also started work on our next long-term plan (LTP), which councils are required to publish every 3 years. Our LTP sets our direction, budgets and work plans for the next 10 years. As such, it’s our most important budgeting and planning project, and it will need your input.

We will be talking with mana whenua, community groups, residents’ associations, businesses and other local organisations over the coming months to understand what projects they want delivered in the next few years.

These conversations will help guide the development of the Long-term Plan 2018–28.
