Long-term plans generally set out the Council’s intentions for the next decade. They are reviewed every 3 years to keep them relevant and accurate, keep them moving in the right direction and addressing community outcomes.

The Long-Term Plan in current use is the Kaikoura 2025 Long-term Plan, adopted on 29 June 2015. It is presented in two parts: 

Long Term Plan 2015-2025 Volume 1 (3.8MB) - a summary document 

Long Term Plan 2015-2025 Volume 2 (7.8MB) - detailed financial information
