Thank you for taking the time to read the Hastings District Council’s Draft Annual Plan 2013/14.
Strategic Direction
This Plan sets out what we are planning to do over the coming year and how much it will cost. It is a one year snapshot of the Councils Long Term Plan (LTP covering ten years) which the Council adopted in 2012.
In brief, the Annual Plan:
Section One – Keeps you posted on our bigger and ongoing projects, the new works for 2013/14 and the key changes from what was previously planned. Section Two – Shows what we’re planning to do, how much it is expected to cost along with any financial variations from what was planned in year two of the Long Term Plan. Section Three – Provides an opportunity for community input.
