Mayor’s message
Kia ora and welcome to our 10 year plan 2021-31: Tō Tātou Eke Whakamuri – The future of us.
Thank you to everyone who took the time the join the conversation during the formation of this plan. Whether it was through a formal submission, engaging on social media, or simply talking to elected members and staff, the quantity and quality of feedback received was really appreciated.
This document outlines what we will now do for our city over the next decade and beyond.
We plan to spend $1.5 billion over 10 years renewing pipes and roads, upgrading pools and playgrounds, and planning for the future.
Nearly two thirds of this work is focused on renewing our ageing infrastructure, at the same time as introducing a new and improved kerbside collection system, and ensuring a just transition towards a safer climate future.
We’re also building new community facilities such as a library in South Dunedin and a swimming pool in Mosgiel.
As well as improving what we already have, we are planning to support the continued growth the city is experiencing.
We are going to build more community housing units in response to growing demand and invest in our transport network to create greater mode choice, better traffic flow and more efficient use of existing resources like parking.
After considering requests from the community raised in their submissions, Council decided to provide funding to a range of projects that align with our strategic goals. This included things like support in principle for the development of a new destination playground; increasing the funding pool for place-based community groups; funding to support our local marae and funding to facilitate the creation of a live music action plan, just to name a few.
Of course, all of this comes at a cost, which is why we have a planned rates rise of 9.8% in the first year of this plan, and we need to increase borrowing over the 10 year period.
We’re conscious of the impact the rates rise will have on low and fixed income earners especially. We also know that a lot of the work is overdue, and inaction now will only cost us all more in the long run.
This plan is ambitious and exciting in terms of what we want to achieve for the future of us and our city. Thanks again to everyone who joined the conversation and told us what you thought was important for the future of this great small city.

Mayor of Dunedin

What is the 10 year plan?
The 10 year plan 2021-31 helps shape our city for the future. The plan outlines the services and activities the DCC will provide, the projects we will carry out and the level of service the community can expect.
The plan also includes how much we expect things to cost, how we’ll pay for them and what it all means for rates and debt.
A 10 year plan looks a decade ahead, but is reviewed and consulted on every three years. An annual plan is prepared for the years in between.
