New Plymouth District Mayor Neil Holdom has released NPDC’s draft 10-year Plan
focused on investment in core infrastructure to future-proof the district, improve
efficiency, grow non-rates revenue and deliver measurable environmental performance.
“We have a draft plan which we want people in New Plymouth district to read and
understand. Then we want to hear what the people we serve think about our plans, what are
our community’s collective priorities and aspirations and where people believe we could do
better.”
“Council is restructuring to align our organisation with our strategy. These changes will
ensure we are set up for the changes coming, can better deliver services and investments in
our core infrastructure while achieving operational efficiencies of around $100m over the
next 10 years.”
Based on current proposals, an average residential rate increase of 9.9% is identified in
year one, and around 6.9 % in year two. But the Mayor expects that is likely to change
as tough decisions are made on what’s in or out of the plan.
“We are reassessing our priorities, taking a more commercial approach by considering
where can we generate more non-rates revenue, capture the benefits of growth, work in
partnership with mana whenua and deliver better long-term community outcomes.”
The Mayoral recommendation for the next 10 years is built around five objectives:
Future proofing our district
Investing more in the districts water works, transport, disaster recovery and investment
opportunities.
Efficiency
Within a regional water entity, administration efficiencies and ensuring increased fairness.
Community development
Improve social housing supporting Iwi and hapu development and increased funding for
community boards.
Sustainability
With an emphasis on wastewater, flooding, sewerage and improving public transport.
Paying something forward
Particularly sport and recreation facilities and better methods of funding.
Have your say:
Councillors would love to know what you think, to help them make the big calls.
Consider attending the free public forum on the NPDC Ten Year Plan at the
Council’s Debating Chamber from 9.30-11am on Thursday 15 th February.
Our Mayor, among others, will be present to explain the main factors of this Ten Year Plan
