Impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and the drought will be considered and included in development of the Long Term Plan, including continued focus on enabling business success, increasing employment opportunities, and supporting innovation in business and community.
Elected members are largely comfortable with the current direction setting of the LTP. It was decided that as an outcome of LTP direction setting and community outcomes discussion that ‘planning for tomorrow’ be incorporated into the Council’s DNA statement as outlined in Project Thrive, alongside ‘working together, customer excellence and working smarter’.
Mr Ireson presented the report.
Officers will assess the effect that termination of the Covid-19 wage subsidy will have on CHB businesses.
An update on the Tukituki Leader’s Forum and water security issues was requested and an update was provided by Mayor Walker. A further update will be presented to Committee at a later date. Mayor Walker provided a brief update on the provincial growth fund water security package being led by the Regional Council, stating that the Tukituki Leader’s Forum is working through issues related to water security.
The economic view of what water security does for the primary sector in terms of the economy and recovery in the future, especially when it comes to recovery from Covid-19 pandemic, is the number one priority of the Forum. Mayor Walker assured Council that the Tuki Tuki leaders’ forum is prioritising water security in CHB.
Chair Annand and Mrs Davidson concurred that water security is a big part of the economic recovery for the region, specifically CHB and high priority of the Council in the economic recovery action plan deliberations.
