Long Term Financial Plan
The Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP) is an important part of Council’s strategic planning process. This is the point where long-term community aspirations and goals are tested against financial realities. It is also where Council and the community may decide what resources councils need to influence and work with other parties that they might deliver on responsibilities. The LTFP will seek to answer the questions: Can we survive the pressures of the future? What are the opportunities for future income and economic growth? Can we afford what the community wants? How can we go about achieving these outcomes? View the 2015 Long Term Financial Plan.
