Annual Plan 2019/20 - Have your say!
We're proposing a number of changes to our budgets and work programme, for the coming year, that were not anticipated when we adopted our Long Term Plan 2018-28 last year.
The proposed changes will allow us to partner with Central Government to undertake some transformational projects for our District. For example, we have a chance now to unlock some very significant Government funding to support marine and tourism sector development through waterfront and town centre regeneration; and to bring forward road safety and active transport projects.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
