Every three years the Council is required to develop a Long Term Plan which outlines the projects and services the Council intends to carry out in the district over the next ten years, with a focus on the first three. Each intervening year the Council also develops an Annual Plan which highlights the Council’s programme for that year and identifies any differences in that programme with what the Council said it was going to do in its Long Term Plan. The most important thing about the Annual Plan is that it sets the rates for the coming year.
