Your Annual Plan - What is it?

• It contains the annual budget and funding impact statement for the 2011/2012 year.
• It identifies and explains any variations from the annual budget and funding impact statement included in our Long-Term Council Community Plan 2009-2019 (LTCCP)

What does it look like?

• The Annual Plan includes the variances between the budget for 2011/2012 as opposed to the budget set out in the LTCCP.
• It includes budgets for the 2011/2012 financial year.
• It includes a funding impact statement which explains the revenue and financing mechanisms to be used to cover our estimated expenses in 2011/2012. Essentially this means how we calculate the rates.

How does the Annual Plan affect you?

• You may be interested in any projects that Council has planned for the coming year, how those projects are likely to be funded and how these form part of the integrated planning for the long term future of Central Hawke's Bay.
