Comments
6. Local
board plans are strategic plans for the following three years and beyond. The
plans reflect the priorities and preferences of the community and they guide
how the local board:
· makes
decisions on local activities and projects
· provides
input into regional strategies and policies
7. The
plans inform the development of council’s 10-year budget. They also form
the basis for development of the annual local board agreement for the following
three financial years and subsequent work programmes.
8. The
local board is required to use the Special Consultative Procedure (SCP) to
consult on the draft local board plan. The period for the SCP is from 22 May to
30 June 2017.
9. As
part of meeting these SCP requirements, a full draft of the local board plan
and summary will be made available on the Shape Auckland website, at local
libraries, council service centres and the local board office. The summary will
also be delivered to all households in the local board area, and engagement
events will be scheduled during the SCP period of 22 May to 30 June 2017. These
will be advertised on the Shape Auckland website, through local and regional
publications, online and through social media.
