ANNUAL PLAN 2023/2024

Every year we must prepare an Annual Plan which considers our budgets for the upcoming financial year. Our plans for the 2023/2024 year were mapped out in Tasman’s 10-Year Plan 2021 – 2031 which we completed in mid-2021. However, since that time there have been significant changes affecting our operations.

Inflation has increased significantly.

Interest rates are considerably higher.

• The current labour shortage is affecting us.

• Our depreciation bill has increased substantially.

We’ve had to make some tough choices. Do you agree with the choices we’ve made? We rely on your feedback to form the final plan so please tell us what you think. The Consultation Document which outlines our proposed changes is available online at shape.tasman.govt.nz or at Council service centres and libraries.
