NEW PLYMOUTH DISTRICT COUNCIL TEN YEAR PLAN – HAVE YOUR SAY
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
– and to respond to your questions and suggestions.
This is a free event, sponsored by Positive Ageing NP, Age Concern Taranaki and Grey Power.

Cara Talbot has nominated her neighbours, James and Amy Bolton of Forrest Hill (featured below), as a Neighbourly Nice Neighbour. Cara shares:

"I’m a single working mum and life is a juggle! However James and Amy are always offering to help when needed. They are just the type of couple that don't wait to be asked for help. Amy is forever helping to look after my dog when I’m at work or helping to get my kids to after school activities. James will come over and help me put up the kids temporary pool, do my lawn edges or take runs to the tip when I’m having a clear out. Always with a smile when I know they are busy parents themselves.

In addition to the many times they've helped me out personally, in the recent flooding in the Forrest Hill area, it was Amy that rang around her network and rallied a number of our families (and kids) to come and help affected neighbours to clear out their flooded homes and generally clean up once the waters had died down. I know she helped man a support area in the local community down in Milford shopping centre which provides support and goods to families hit hard. She's also the Chair of the Forrest Hill Primary School - she's just an all-around good sort who is very community-minded. James works for the Police and I know he's been up to the local school more than once to help educate our kids about what the police do and how to stay safe.

James and Amy are very humble, but I do really think they are some of the great unsung heroes that make our north shore community so special. I feel very blessed they are part of my adopted whānau!"

Our Council is about to undertake one of the most important tasks of its
three-year term. This is the review of
the long-term Ten Year Plan for its
future.
Late last year staff and consultants
contacted more than 5,500 people in
the community assessing the issues
that people felt were important for
the future. The result is a comprehensive report which will now be

reviewed by the elected council with
an opportunity for members of the
public to make further submissions.
The main issues to be considered are
what sort of developments need to
proceed, the cost, and the impact on
rates or borrowing.
New Plymouth Positive
Ageing, Grey Power and Age Concern Taranaki have invited Mayor
Neil Holdom to address a free forum
in the Council Debating Chamber.
This will be held in the NPDC Debating Chamber on Thursday 15th February, 9.30am to 11.00am
