Background
3. At the council meeting
on 6 November 2023, the supporting information for the proposed Long-term Plan
2024-34 was adopted, noting any additional or amended disclosures to be
required by Audit New Zealand to be tabled at the 13 November Council meeting.
The Chief Executive was authorised to make minor amendments to the
documentation to ensure accuracy and correct minor drafting errors.
4. The two reports from 6
November 2023 are included as Attachments 1 and 2, the supporting documentation
is largely unchanged, with the exception of changes attached and/or tabled at
the 13 November meeting.
5. The audit opinion and
consultation document are expected to be tabled at the meeting, and Audit New
Zealand will attend to speak to the audit opinion.
Strategic
/ Statutory Context
6. Adopting
the consultation document will enable consultation to occur before Christmas,
giving the community an opportunity to have their say on the LTP. If the
consultation document is not adopted at this time, the consultation period,
hearings, and deliberations dates will need to be deferred and adoption of the
final LTP will be delayed beyond April 2024.
Significance / ENGAGEMENT
7. In accordance with
criteria and thresholds in the Significance and Engagement Policy, it is
considered that the consultation document for the 2024-34 LTP is of high
significance as it has significant financial and level of service consequences
for the city and is of high public interest.
8. The consultation
document will go out for public consultation using the special consultative
procedure under the LGA. This will be for a period of one month, from 15
November to 15 December 2023.
Next Steps
