Long Term Plans

The Long Term Plan sets Council's strategic direction and work programme for the 10 years ahead. It outlines the services we will provide, the projects we will undertake, the cost of doing this work, how it will be paid for and how we will measure quality and our effectiveness.

The issues we face and the context within which we work are continually evolving. For this reason, a Long Term Plan is produced every three years.

Our current 2025-34 Long Term Plan covers only nine years. We took the option offered by Central Government to defer the 2024-34 Long Term Plan by one year, anticipating more certainty around water services delivery by then. In 2024 we produced the 2024-2025 Enhanced Annual Plan. We will be produce our next Long Term Plan in two years rather than three, this being the 2027-37 Long Term Plan.
