Consultation closed

Rotorua Lakes Council adopted the 2019 - 2020 Annual Plan following consultation.

The Long-term Plan 2018/28 (LTP) included significant investment in maintaining, renewing and improving key infrastructure like roads, stormwater, wastewater networks and schemes, water supplies and sports, recreation, community and cultural facilities.

Nine months in, we reviewed progress made and set our budgets and work programmes for the 2019/20 financial year. We shared with you some adjustments needed as a result of key challenges we face and sought your feedback on one key matter around our wastewater services.

The Annual Plan 2019/20 document provided a summary of developments related to projects and work and the necessary changes to our 2019/20 budgets against what was indicated in the LTP. We worked hard to review and make adjustments, where prudent, to planning and budgets, while remaining mindful of not compromising the objectives of individual projects or our LTP.

Updates

We are proposing to deliver our wastewater services differently...

The management and operation of Council’s wastewater network infrastructure is becoming increasingly complex. Demands and risks on wastewater networks is a significant concern for all of New Zealand and nationally the management and delivery of wastewater services is under the microscope. Council is considering a proposal for the long-term contracting of our wastewater services that offers to gain certainty in risk management, future and ongoing costs, reliability and performance management. This is the place to discuss, find out more the background and reasoning of contracting out.
