Annual Plan 2010-11
Council adopted its 2010/11 Annual Plan on 30 June 2010. This plan explains variations from the Council's Long Term Plan 2009-19, and provides information on property rates, as well as budget and service provision information across all activities carried out by the Council for the 2010/11 year.
The effect on Property Rates
The average rates increase for property owners in Porirua for 2010/11 is 7.1%, taking into account expected growth in the rating base of 1.3% and increase in the GST rate from 1 October 2010.

Consultation
A total of 77 submissions were received on the Draft Annual Plan 2010/11. This was 35% more submissions compared to the 2008/09 Draft Annual Plan and 51% more than the 2007/08 Draft Annual Plan.
The main subjects raised in submissions were feedback on the Cannons Creek "Programme Pool" proposal, Rates increases, Leisure activities and expenditure on City Centre Revitalisation.
A public hearing was held 13 May and 14 May 2010. A total of 17 submitters (22%) presented their submissions at the public hearing.
Council resolved at its 2 June 2010 meeting that some submitter requests be incorporated into the final Annual Plan 2010/11 for adoption as follows:
Agreed changes from Draft to final Annual Plan 2010/11
| Topic Description |
Agreed change |
| Arts and Heritage |
That consideration be given to utilising the wide range of historical material collected over the past ten years and plans be put in place for a permanent display on the history of Porirua. |
| Governance and City Leadership |
Officers to review the presentation layout of financial information in the final Annual Plan 2010/11 (section 1 overview) and ensure that they are relevant and helpful to readers. |
| Cannons Creek Swimming Pool (Indoor Recreation) |
Continue with the proposed plan for Cannons Creek Pool, but examine options including:
- The public good components of the pool
- Different scheduling options for program and casual use, including some possible casual use during the school holidays and week on a regular basis, and public use on the weekends
- A revised pricing schedule
- Opportunities for closer work with schools
- Establishing a Cannons Creek Pool Advisory Group with membership from PCC staff, community and marketing membership to consider these options for presentation to Council.
|
| Walkways and Cycleways (City Landscape) |
Council made one budget change in response to submissions. A $20,000 grant will be made available to the Te Araroa Wellington Regional Trust to be used as 'seed' funding towards forming a walking track between Pukerua Bay and Paekakariki. This grant will be covered by savings in other operational areas and therefore will not result in a budget increase from the Draft Annual Plan 2010/11. |
