Waimakariki seeking some goals
By David Hill, Local Democracy Reporter
Waimakariri residents will be asked to give feedback on the district’s goals for the next 10 years.
The Waimakariri District Council will consult on its draft community outcomes later this month, as it begins work on the 2024-34 Long-Term Plan (LTP).
Mayor Dan Gordon said it was an important part of the LTP process and he encouraged residents to give feedback.
"The purpose of the long-term plan is, amongst other things, to describe the community outcomes of the local authority’s district or region.
"Community outcomes are the outcomes a local authority aims to achieve in order to promote social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing in the present and for the future."
The draft community outcomes recognise the growing contribution of arts, culture and heritage to the wellbeing of the district.
Ensuring there were sufficient skills and education opportunities available to support the economy is another new addition.
Consultation will be carried out during July and August, with hearings scheduled for late August.
