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.

Support is being offered to Waimakariri’s lifestyle block owners to meet their environmental commitments.
The Waimakariri Zone Committee, in partnership with Environment Canterbury and the Waimakariri District Council, has developed a resource to support the growing number of lifestyle block owners.
The Waimakariri district has more than 6500 lifestyle blocks, which is thought to be one of the highest number in the country.
Zone committee chairperson Carolyne Latham says it was found lifestylers often fell under the radar, during the process of developing the Waimakariri zone implementation plan in 2018, which became Plan Change 7 to the Canterbury Land and Water Regional Plan.
"We know that they want to be doing their bit for the environment, but sometimes it is difficult to know where to start."
Collectively, lifestyle blocks could have a significant impact on our environment as they typically had more people and infrastructure on a smaller land area.
The zone committee’s lifestyle block working group has produced a new resource called Top Ten Tips for Lifestylers.
"This resource condenses all the information available into the most important areas where improvements will make a difference," Latham says.
"It was surprisingly difficult to put it together because, while there is a lot of information out there on good management practice, we needed to look at it from a lifestyle perspective.
"Often they don’t have to do much, sometimes it might just be putting things in a different place, like moving fences or moving troughs."
Not all lifestyle blocks were the same, she says. Some were like mini farms, some were extended sections, some had sheds for storing vintage cars or machinery and others had businesses run out of them.
The tips included protecting waterways, understanding your land, taking care of plants and animals, monitoring septic tanks, managing fertiliser and manure, and being responsible with rubbish disposal.
Advice is also available from the New Zealand Landcare Trust, the Waimakariri Biodiversity Trust, Environment Canterbury and the Waimakariri District Council. Latham said the zone committee was working with the councils to launch a website with the top 10 tips, and a lifestyle workshop was in the pipeline.

Now is an important time to have a say about Canterbury’s future, says Environment Canterbury councillor Grant Edge.
The North Canterbury councillor is encouraging Waimakariri, Hurunui and Kaikōura residents to share their views as the regional council begins a review of the Canterbury Regional Policy Statement (RPS).
The RPS is expected to be notified by December next year, and Environment Canterbury is seeking public feedback.
It will ultimately form part of an Integrated Plan for Canterbury, being merged with the Coastal Environment Plan and the Canterbury Land and Water Regional Plan.
"The whole integrated planning process is quite exciting," Edge says.
"And it is coming about at a time of new legislation with the RMA (Resource Management Act) reforms."
Merging the three plans into one would simplify the process and "give people more certainty for land use", he said.
The RPS set the framework for local councils when preparing District Plans.
Under the proposed RMA reform legislation, District Plans may soon be replaced by Regional Plans, making it important local voices were heard, he says.
"We seem to duplicate things a lot, so I’m hoping in the end it will lead to the regional council, district councils and the government working more closely together.
"With climate change impacts and adaptation, a new way of funding is needed within the regional space, because it will become unaffordable through rates alone.
"So the best way is having government around the table and listening, with local people contributing."
The Greater Christchurch Partnership provides an example of how this could work, with local and central government, and treaty partners sitting around the table and negotiating to find a consensus.
Edge praised the Hurunui District Council for "forward thinking" in developing a coastal adaptation plan in partnership with the Amberley Beach community.
It is believed to be the first of its kind in the country.
"We recently had the hottest day on average, two days in a row, for the planet," he said.
"Eventually we are going to get to the point where we are going to have to act quickly."
The RPS engagement is focusing on six topics including water, land, climate change, air, the coast and the built environment.
Environment Canterbury developed its first RPS in the 1990s and it was last reviewed in 2013.
"I encourage people to really get involved in tackling these environmental issues," Edge said.
"Because once these things are formed, it will shape the way we act and protect our environment for years to come."
Feedback closes on August 27 and can be made at ecan.govt.nz/ourfuture or call 0800 326636.
