Where's it @ Rangitīkei - Long Term Plan 2024-2034

The Long Term Plan (LTP) is a large and important document that sets out the Council’s plans and budget for the next 10 years. Every three years, the LTP is reviewed and refreshed to make sure we’re still heading in the right direction for our District’s future.

Consultation for the Long Term Plan 2024-2034 is open from Friday 8 March 2024 to Sunday 7 April 2024.


Draft Revenue and Financing Policy

The Revenue and Financing Policy sets out Council’s approach to, and sources of, funding operational and capital expenses. The existing Policy has been reviewed, with minor changes made to the wording in Part A (to reflect the uncertain nature of some grants Council receives) and in Part B (some changes in the relative split of funding sources for some areas and to the key beneath the matrix).

Consultation for the Long Term Plan 2024-2034 is open from Friday 8 March 2024 to Sunday 7 April 2024.


Proposed Schedule of Fees and Charges 2024/25

Fees and charges allow us to pass on some costs directly to those who use particular services and facilities, like using the transfer station or hiring a hall. This reduces the amount of funding that needs to be collected through rates.

Consultation for the Proposed Schedule of Fees and Charges 2024/25 is open from Friday 8 March 2024 to Sunday 7 April 2024.


Draft Rates Remission Policy

Council’s Rates Remission Policy identifies the situations, objectives, and criteria for the remission of rates. Changes are proposed to the Rates Remissions Policy for earthquake-prone buildings, a new remission is proposed for land impacted by rezoning and other minor amendments.

Consultation for the Draft Rates Remission Policy 2024/25 is open from Friday 8 March 2024 to Sunday 7 April 2024.


Draft Significance and Engagement Policy

The Significance and Engagement Policy is the document that Council uses to determine the significance of decisions and what community engagement will occur for different issues. The existing Policy has been reviewed, with changes made to make it easier to use.

Consultation for the Draft Significance and Engagement Policy 2024/25 is open from Friday 8 March 2024 to Sunday 7 April 2024.


Draft Development Contributions Policy

A Development Contributions Policy can require developers to pay a fee that contributes towards the cost for infrastructure required to support growth. Council’s approach is to not require development contributions and to work with developers on a case-by-case basis regarding their contribution for each major development.

Consultation for the Draft Development Contributions Policy 2024/25 is open from Friday 8 March 2024 to Sunday 7 April 2024.
