In the Councils own words
In adopting the projects identified in this2012 to 2022 Long Term Plan the Council
has taken the approach that a
twenty year per iod
is more appropriate for our infrastructuralinvestment programme than a
ten year period

Larry Mitchell says
The for thcom ing elect ion w i l l be crucia l for your
wel lbeing.
I urge all voters to support candidates who show an
awareness and appreciation of the present criticalfinancial condition of your Council and support those
who are prepared to set about developing a recovery
plan.
For a recovery plan is what is urgently needed aftermany years of spending of Council revenues on
everything but your tired and ill-performing
infrastructure.

To succeed,
our Recovery Plan must be:
Realistic
Achievable
Affordable
Visionary
It must be sustainable,
both financially and environmentally.
It should also be motivational.

Any councillor who wishes to do somay serve on any or even all of these
committees
