Preparation of the 10-year Plan, Council’s major planning and decision-making document for the District, has been underway for nearly a year now with a draft to be available for public consultation in March 2009.
Over the last six months articles have been included in Word on Waipa that have covered various aspects of the document including community outcomes, policy information, section overviews and key events, dates and details of how to be involved in the process. This information is also available on Council’s website www.waipadc.govt.nz
Council’s Group Manager Policy and Strategy, Ross McNeil is looking forward to the release of the draft Plan in March and is hopeful of significant community involvement in the submission process.
“Continuing high community expectations and current economic conditions make the preparation of this draft Plan particularly challenging. The draft Plan will signal Council’s course for the next 10 years, so getting it right for the community is something all residents should take an interest in.”
