Community Outcomes
Community Outcomes are identified as the outcomes which a local authority aims to achieve in order to promote the social, economic, environmental, and cultural well-being of its district or region, in the present and for the future.
These outcomes are included in all long term planning Council does and under the Local Governmnet Act 2002 Council is required to include these Community Outcomes in it's official Long Term Plan documents.
Before the 2006 Long Term Plan (then known as Council Community Long Term Plan) was adopted, significant consultation was carried out and the community identified key areas that were important for Buller moving forward. It is time to review these outcomes, so we have gone over what was set back in 2006 and think we have identified the key areas our communities are interested in most, these are:
- Who we are
- Learning
- Well-being
- Sustainable Environment
- Prosperity
Please view the document below to see the full Community Outcomes details.
Community Outcomes submission form
Submissions will be accepted until 4.30pm Friday 9 December 2011.
Punakaiki Beach Camp - Proposal to Lease Reserve
The Buller District Council has resolved to begin consultation on the proposal to lease out the recreation reserve which is the site of the Punakaiki Beach Camp.
If leased, the site will remain as a reserve and will continue to be a camp ground. The proposal is to lease the reserve to an operator to construct, develop, control and manage the camp ground rather than contracting an operator as is done currently.
Under section 120 of the Reserves Act 1977 any person or organisation may object against or make a submission on the proposal.
Submissions or objections on this proposal must be completed either online by clicking here or on the prescribed form and sent to Buller District Council, PO Box 21, Westport 7866 or delivered to Council’s office at Brougham Street, Westport. Submissions and objections will be received until 4.30pm Tuesday 25 October 2011.
Consultation forms can be collected from the Paparoa National Park i-SITE Visitor Centre, Buller District Council office in Westport or by clicking the document below.
