Ever wanted to ask a councillor a question about the Long-term Plan and what it means for you?

Well, you're in luck! We're running a livestream over on our Facebook page on 17 April at 6pm. Councillors Rachel Keedwell and Sam Ferguson will be online to answer any questions you have about the Long-term Plan.

Miss out on the stream? Don't worry, you can watch it back to see what they had to say.

Remember, you have less than a week to submit on our draft Long-term Plan. We're specifically asking for feedback on these things:

• Managing our region's water use.
• Reducing fencing and planting in the freshwater space.
• Planned public transport improvements.
• Moving to a whole-of-catchment approach to improve water quality, pest control and river management.
• Mapping highly productive land.
• Changes to the way Council funds some of its activities and how it uses investment revenue.
• Protecting assets with appropriate insurance cover.

You can read more about those topics here. You have until 5pm on Monday 22 April 2024.
