DCC 9-Year Plan open for consultation

People can now have their say on what gets done in Dunedin for the next nine years.

Dunedin City Council today began early engagement on its 9 year plan 2025-2034.

“The 9 year plan is all about striking the right balance between investing in our city and keeping things affordable,” Dunedin Mayor Jules Radich says.

“We all want the best for our great small city and the people who live here, which is why we’re encouraging everyone to have their say and share what matters most to them.

“This is an early check-in with our community as we work to prepare a draft 9 year plan for more detailed consultation later.”

Mr Radich says the council needs to keep investing in in things like renewing pipes and roads, upgrading playgrounds and looking after public buildings, as well as thinking about the future.  

“This investment comes at a cost, and we’re working hard to strike the right balance and keep rates affordable while still meeting our responsibilities. We know there are some tough decisions ahead which is why it’s important for people to have their say.”

Early engagement runs until October 30.

Members of the public can complete a survey, or share a message on our comments wall.

Public feedback will help inform the development of the draft 9 year plan for 2025-2034 and formal consultation will follow.
