Consultation on Gisborne District Council’s 2024-2027 Three Year Plan (3YP) has opened this week and lasts for four weeks, until April 19.
A series of “community conversations” will be held around the region to discuss the 3YP, starting from tomorrow.
“To ensure as many of our community can understand and ask questions about the council’s budget and plan for the next three years, these conversations with councillors and staff will be held in townships across Tairāwhiti,” says Mayor Rehette Stoltz.
“We’ll take you through our 3YP and discuss the challenges we face and how we plan to pay for the enormous recovery bill of more than $1 billion. This was the result of all the damage to our infrastructure as well as properties that were flooded, following two cyclones and the impacts of severe weather last year.”
On Saturday there will be a “pop-up” session at the Gisborne Farmers’ Market from 9.30am to 12.30pm, and one at Community Kaitahi, McKenzie Street in Te Puia Springs from 11am to 3pm.
