The Council will be considering residents feedback as it works to finalise the plan for the year.

A total of 105 submissions were received on the draft Annual Plan 2023/24 by the close of submissions on Friday last week.  Hearings will now be held for submitters who have asked to speak to their submissions.

The submissions will be used to produce a final plan that will be adopted by the Council by 28 June.

The draft plan outlines what the Council is going to do over the coming year and how much it will cost. It’s the third year of the Council’s Long-Term Plan 2021–2031.

In addition to the major projects agreed in the Long-Term Plan, the Council is continuing to invest in services, facilities and infrastructure, and other community projects across the district. These include projects such as the new:
* community reserve development in Dunsandel and Darfield
* water treatment plant in Leeston and Prebbleton
* membrane water treatment plant and reservoir in Springfield
* reservoirs in Hororātā and Arthur’s Pass
* and intersection upgrades in Lincoln town centre.

To deliver these services and facilities, the plan proposes committing $137.7 million to capital projects over the next 12 months. This includes $20.8 million in water supply projects, $45.8 million in wastewater projects and $43.5 million in transportation projects.
