Five key proposals were consulted on as part of the LTP including increased investment in roads and footpaths, a review of the outdated District Plan, a fortnightly urban rubbish collection and tourism/business support. The majority of the submissions agreed with the proposals ranging from 64% (tourism/business support) through to 73% (urban rubbish collection).

Mayor Craig Mackle commented “It’s great to see that all of the proposed options were well supported. It shows we are on track to deliver changes and improvements in line with what the majority of the community want.”

The LTP has been adopted with an overall rate increase of 5.4% for 2021/2022, and a ten-year average increase of 3.3%. 

Other submissions requested financial support for the Mayfair Theatre, Kaikōura Cycling Club (KCC), Te Korowai. The Council has responded with proposals to allow a one-off grant of $15,000 each to the Mayfair and KCC (both grants to be paid from unspent economic development funds), $10,000 to Te Korowai and $2500 to Vetcare to support responsible cat ownership with a focus on desexing and microchipping cats (both grants from unspent environmental funds).

$5000 has been allocated to the Kēkerengū Community Hall (from unallocated funds from the District Grants Fund). The Council will continue to contribute to Sports Tasman, iSite and the Kaikōura Museum.
