Rotorua mayor Steve Chadwick has invited the public to have its say on the direction of the district for the next 10 years.
Consultation on Rotorua Lakes Council's 2021 - 2031 long-term plan opened on Tuesday this week, and will run until 4pm on April 30.
Long-term plans, undertaken every three years, set out what the council proposes to achieve over the next 10 years and how those goals would be funded.
"To achieve bold outcomes, we need bold action. At such a critical time, it would not go far enough to propose anything less.
"There is a lot of mahi to do to make Rotorua a thriving and prosperous place for everyone.
"The change will not happen overnight, and we cannot do it alone.
"We are proposing significant investment. But this is investment in the areas that you, our community, have told us are the most important."
The LTP consultation document was developed based on the council's key priorities, which reflect the issues the community has previously told the council are important, a council press release stated.
"The consultation document includes key questions for the community to consider - particularly around levels of investment."
The community is being asked to consider the level of investment proposed for the Aquatic Centre, the council's community safety plan, changes to fees and charges and the consideration of rates affordability.
"The community is encouraged to read through the consultation document, consider the mahi that is proposed and take the opportunity to share their thoughts with [the] council."
"Ka whaiwhakaaro te kaunihera i ngā kōrerorero katoa o te hāpori hei whakatau I te Mahere Pae Tawhiti. Ā te 30 o Hune 2021 ka whakatau i te Mahere Pae Tawhiti.
"All feedback will be considered by [the] council and used to finalise the long-term plan. Adoption of the Long-term Plan will occur by 30 June 2021."
