Long Term Plan Community Workshop - 25 November

Communications from Hastings District Council

In planning the budget for the next three years (from 1 July 2024), Council wants to hear what you’d prioritise to save money and keep rates from skyrocketing.

We’re looking for 120 people across all demographics to help inform these decisions, with wider public consultation to follow in February 2024. To sign up to attend a workshop on Saturday 25 November, head to: survey.publicvoice.co.nz...

Council already has a $131m roading recovery programme ahead of it, and will continue to prioritise essential services like water and waste so we want to know, across other areas, what could we do with less of? And what can we not afford to cut?
