Central Hawke’s Bay District Councillors will meet today to deliberate over the Councils’ draft Long Term Plan.
At the meeting, Councillors will receive reports outlining options and recommendations to address the four critical issues facing the district - plans and funding for wastewater, a step change in renewals, future proofing solid waste services and funding for growth.
Over 200 submissions were made during the consultation process on the 2021-2031 Long Term Plan, with increases to the Council’s overall debt limits and increases to development contributions all proposed in a bid to face years of underinvestment in Council infrastructure.
Decisions made today will be reviewed and adopted at an Extraordinary Council Meeting on June 17.

Senior Constable Andy Walker said it is still very busy in the Waipawa area, with two properties on Abbotsford Road broken into.
He said chainsaws and hand tools were taken from sheds at the properties.
Tucker Box in Waipawa was also broken into over the weekend, with the offenders for that from out of town.
Mr Walker said the offenders for that break-in were also allegedly involved in a number of incidents in Hastings the same night.
In other burglaries, alcohol was again taken from the Paper Mulberry Café at Pukehou for the second week in a row, while a garage at a property on Nicolls Road was entered, and tools stolen.
And two youths have been arrested following a break-in at CHB Vets in Waipukurau last week.
Mr Walker said a 15 year old is now in the care of Oranga Tamariki, with a 17 year old due to appear in the Youth Court.
