September 2023 Proposed projects in your community
Submissions are no closed. We will provide you with an update soon.
Your community board has been discussing and looking at ideas for projects within your community for the next long term plan, which will be adopted in June 2024.
It is important to hear your thoughts on what your board members are looking at - please note these are just proposals at this stage and have not yet been properly scoped out or costed. That process is ongoing at the moment and will go back to the boards, along with your feedback, in October for them to make their recommendations on what will go into the long term plan. You will have another chance to give feedback on those recommendations when we have the formal consultation on the long term plan in March-April 2024.
What follows is a list of projects, both operational and capital, with a short description for the next three years for each community board. Included is also detail on the maintenance and replacement costs you are already paying for in your local rates for the activities your board looks after, such as playgrounds, halls, reserves, mowing and gardening. Maintenance is looking after the assets, while replacement is building a new asset or part of one.
These figures are taken from the 2023-24 Annual Plan to give you an idea of the annual costs of the services you already have. Remember the projects going into the long term plan will also have annual maintenance and replacement costs as well as their capital cost.
We want to set this out as clearly as we can so you can give feedback on the whole set of local rate costs there are - please note this does not include district-wide rates for services such as roading and three waters. Submissions close on 29 September 2023 at 5pm.
