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.
