What is an annual plan?
An annual plan is the Council's budget for one financial year. It explains how the Council intends to finance the activities and services it provides during that year as directed by its long term plan. It focuses on the adjustments the Council needs to make in light of the previous year's financial performance, updated financial figures, cost increases and inflation.
An annual plan supports the Council's long term plan by providing integrated decision making and coordination of the Council's resources. The long term plan is produced every three years. No Annual Plan is produced in the years when the long term plan is produced.
The Council is required by the Local Government Act 2002 to produce an annual plan and consult with its community before finalising the document.
