If the Mackenzie District is to remain as a thriving area it needs to make significant progress in helping realise the six community outcomes that the Council has outlined.

The following activities contribute to the essence of the community, adding value to the District by increasing access to cultural, social and recreational pursuits as well as supporting a safe and healthy community.

This 2006 - 2016 plan is the first LTCCP to be audited under the LGA 2002 and is intended to be a comprehensive statement of the Councils intentions for the next 10 years.

Our District is one of the fastest growing areas in New Zealand. Our challenge is to grow and develop in a way that maintains and improves the quality of life we enjoy, today and in the future.
This means taking a long-term view of the social, environmental, cultural and economic aspirations of all communities across our District.

In response to proactive community residents submissions in 2004, a multi partner project team was established to engage with those communities on their future aspirations. The way this was done was through Vision Café's.

The Local Government Act, 2002, brought major changes in the way that Local Bodies operate and the way they interact with the communities they represent. Great emphasis is put on requirements for Councils to be guided by the aspirations and needs of the local community and to ensure that they truly understand what those aspirations and needs really are.  One piece of this picture is the generation of this Long Term Council Community Plan, (LTCCP)

Welcome to TDC's first real Long Term Council Community Plan. We completed an interim document in 2004, but since then we have done a lot of work to improve it. This includes developing more detailed plans to manage key Council assets, identifying Community Outcomes through the Talking Tomorrow project and thinking through how the district can pay for all this work in the future. We still have a way to go to make it perfect, but this document sets out where we are now and what we are planning for the future.

Caroline Bay is one of the most valued and highly used open spaces in Timaru. The Timaru District Council has adopted a Management Plan for the Bay in principle; subject to the outcomes of a Development Plan process.

TheLocal Government Act 2002 requires all local authorities to have a Community Plan which sets out the Council's long-term goals, work programmes and services for the next ten years out.  These goals must aim to promote community well-being as defined by the "community outcomes" that local people desire.

The Local Government Act 2002 changed councils' role. Previously councils had concentrated on providing physical infrastructure, such as roads, rubbish dumps and water supplies. Now, councils must promote community well-being - social, cultural, economic and environmental. To do this, the council must prepare a community plan that identifies measurable outcomes in each of these broad areas and also enables greater community influence on decision-making.

Welcome to Council's Long Term Council Community Plan (LTCCP) for the period 2006-2016. This is the first LTCCP that has been audited, both in draft and final form. The audit is a mechanism incorporated in the Local Government Act 2002 which endeavors to give the community confidence that the information provided in this document is based on sound assumptions.

The Chatham Islands Council's community outcomes consider social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being of the community and reflect local priorities.

Outcomes describe the community's vision for its future, what the community sees as important for its wellbeing.  Council must provide a Community Plan (sometimes called the Long-Term Council and Community Plan) every three years.  Without the relevant policies in the Community Plan, Council cannot collect or spend rates.
