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.
