The Council’s Annual Plan is the budget for the upcoming financial year. It sets out how the Council will spend and where funding will come from.

You can have your say on the draft plan from now until 29 June. Click through for more information: https://ccc.govt.nz/…/consultations-an…/haveyoursay/show/308
