Council to consult on Annual Plan 2023/24
14/02/2023 12:11pm
Nelson City Council has assessed the financial impact of recovery from the August 2022 severe weather event and agreed an amendment to its Long Term Plan 2021-2031 is not necessary.
However, as there are significant changes to next year’s capital programme, Council will undertake public consultation on its Annual Plan 2023/24.
Not amending the Long Term Plan reduces the time required to audit an amendment as required by legislation and saves the estimated $80,000– $100,000 it would cost to engage Audit NZ, on top of staff and elected member time.
The public consultation period on the Annual Plan 2023/24 will begin on Wednesday 29 March and last for a month.
The Annual Plan consultation period and submissions process will be advertised at the Customer Service Centre and library branches, through Council’s Our Nelson publication and online at Council’s website, social media channels and Shape Nelson.
