2023/24 Mahere ā-Tau Annual Plan

PS 2023/14

Image - cover of annual planWaikato Regional Council's 2023/24 Annual Plan | Mahere ā-Tau is our statement to the community about our proposed finances and service performance from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024.

Annual plans are largely determined by our long term plan (LTP), although strategic adjustments are sometimes required to ensure planning remains responsive to near-term opportunities and challenges.

For 2023/24, we stuck closely to the programme we signalled in our 2021-2031 LTP. An annual budget of $201.943 million was set. This represents an increase in total rates revenue from current ratepayers of 5.4 per cent. While the increase exceeds the 1.6 per cent forecast in the council’s 2021-2031 LTP, it does sit below the current level of annual inflation which, at the time this budget was set, was above 30-year highs at 7.2 per cent.

The 2023/24 Annual Plan was adopted by Council on 29 June 2023.
