Long Term Plan (LTP)

Our 9-year 2025-2034 Long-Term Plan outlines Council's goals, what Council aims to do, and how we plan to pay for what we will deliver to our community. It also identifies the significant big-picture drivers behind our actions, which are captured in our vision, and the Community Outcomes. It gives the reasons behind what we do, includes the actions we commit to, tells you how much that will cost and how we plan to pay for it.

Council has published the funding requests, individual submissions and a consultation report analysing the submissions on Let's talk Buller.

During April – May 2025, Council released its Draft 2025-2034 Long Term Plan and Consultation Document and invited feedback and comment by way of submissions.

Council received 336 submissions on the Draft LTP 2025-2034 and 38 funding requests from a variety of community groups for one-off or annual funding. 60 people spoke to their submissions during the two days of hearings on 9-10 June, 22 in support of their funding requests, with the balance speaking to their individual LTP submissions.
