The Process

Planning and consultation for the 2025-2026 year includes consultation on Council's:

  1. Proposed Schedule of Fees and Charges; and
  2. Draft Annual Plan 2025/26, and updates to what was forecast in our 2024/34 Long Term Plan.
  3. The Annual Plan consultation also provides an opportunity to submit Community Funding proposals to Council.

There will be a separate form for each consultation, so you can have your say on the things that matter to you. Read more about each consultation below.

  • Proposed Schedule of Fees and Charges

    Some updates to our Schedule of Fees and Charges are proposed across Council's activities and services. Many of these changes are required for inflation purposes and there are some new fees too.

    Feedback is being sought on the Proposed Schedule of Fees and Charges between Friday, 21 March and Wednesday, 23 April 2025.
