Financial and Infrastructure Strategy

The purpose of this combined Financial and Infrastructural Strategy is to provide a decision-making framework that enables the Council to make informed, prudent and sustainable investment decisions.

The overarching objective of the Financial and Infrastructure Strategy is to ensure that financial and infrastructure investment decision-making directly supports the Council’s strategic objectives and the Long-Term Plan (LTP). It also aims to:

  • outline the current health of the Council’s finances and infrastructure networks
  • identify significant issues and costs over the next 30 years
  • identify the main options for managing the issues
  • enable effective financial and infrastructure investment decision-making by providing a framework to assess, prioritise, consult on and finance proposals
  • commit the Council to a set of funding limits and other financial measures to ensure that our long-term plans are sustainable and affordable costs
  • outline how we manage our assets and ensure sufficient funding is generated to maintain infrastructure networks and the services they provide.
