Long-term Council Community plans FAQs

Will there be changes to the LTCCP process?

The Auckland Council will be responsible for the implementation of the Local Government Act 2002. The planning and outcomes provisions of this Act do not form part of the Government’s decision-making on Auckland governance, but the Government is separately reviewing the LTCCP and community outcomes processes. It is intended that any changes resulting from this review should apply to all councils, including Auckland, unless there are sound reasons for them not to.

What will happen to current LTCCPs?

The development of 2009-19 LTCCPs for the current Auckland councils will continue and citizens should continue to make submissions if they wish. The Auckland Council will develop its first LTCCP under the new process in 2012 (assuming that the three year LTCCP cycle is retained).

When will the Auckland Council develop its first LTCCP?

The Auckland Council will develop its first LTCCP under the new process in 2012 (assuming that the three year LTCCP cycle is retained). The Auckland Council's new, single LTCCP in 2012 will be important in defining the future path.
