Long term plan

Bay of Plenty Regional Council’s Long Term Plan (LTP) 2024-2034 sets our direction as a council and establishes the work we will deliver to the community over the next 10 years, as well as setting out how that work will be funded, such as the setting of rates. It also acts as the Council's Annual Plan 2024/25.
