Long Term Plan 2009-19
This page describes the Council's Long Term Plan for 2009-19 adopted on 24 June 2009.
Introduction
Every three years the LTP is fully reviewed with public input. The Annual Plan 2010/11 focuses on adjustments the Council has made to Year 2 of the LTP. The next review will begin during 2010/11 to prepare the Long Term Plan for 2012-22.
A Long Term Plan is a document put together by the community and Council that sets the strategic direction for the city over the next ten years. The LTP covers the function of the Annual Plan for first year it covers. However Annual Plans are produced for years 2 and 3 of the LTP.
The purpose of the LTP is detailed under the Local Government Act (LGA) 2002 to:
- describe the activities of the local authority
- describe and incorporate the community outcomes and process
- provide integrated decision-making and coordination of resources
- provide long term focus for the decisions and activities of the local authority

Council Roadshow Meetings and Clinics
View a Summary of key issues (17KB pdf) raised during Councillor Clinics and Roadshow Meetings (to September 2008).
Councillors held a "roadshow" to meet with city organisations during September and October 2008 to talk about Council services and activities – what people are happy with, what they are concerned about, what they see as priorities. In total, Councillors were invited to meet with 14 different groups over the two month period.
Councillors want to hear about your views as the next Long Term Plan is prepared. What do you think makes Porirua a great place to live now and what you would like to see here in 10 years time?
"Councillor Clinics" are held at public venues across the city each month if you would like to drop by and chat. Exact times and venues are advertised in the Kapi Mana Newspaper and published on Council's website on the Events page in advance.
