Engaging people with the Long Term Plan process may come with a $50,000 price tag for the Rotorua Lakes Council.
The council is gearing up for consultation on the Long Term Plan (LTP), which will outline the council's direction, major projects, and spending until 2028.
With the draft plan expected
to be released to the public at the end of the month, staff today outlined to the council's Strategy, Policy and Finance Committee how they intended to engage the community in the process.
In a report prepared for the committee, governance and corporate planning manager Oonagh Hopkins says engagement activities would include online engagement, pop up stations, community led engagement, community conversations, and special interest group forums.
The budget for engagement was $50,000.
