On 9 June, Elected Members met to consider and deliberate on submissions received for WDC’s 10 Year Plan and the Rates Remission Policy. Council has decided to go with option 1 of the consultation topic, which is to defer harmonisation of water supply rates to Year 4 of the new 10YP.

There were also a number of submissions made outside of the consultation proposal and the consultation document. Elected members considered these as well and have agreed to further discuss and investigate incorporation of some of these into Council’s work programme where appropriate.

Our Mayor and Councillors would like to thank all those who took the time to make a submission.

Council will be formally adopting the 10 Year Plan 2021-31 on 29 June 2021.
