Section 1 He kupu whakataki | Introduction

Introduction from the Mayor

Welcome to this year‘s Annual Plan and thank you to everyone who contributed to its development. The feedback we received through our engagement process and the ideas presented to us were greatly appreciated.

This Annual Plan is an update of year two of our 10 year plan 2021-31 – the future of us / tō tātou āpōpō. Overall, there is little change in this annual plan from what we said we would do in the 10 year plan.

We are very aware of the financial pressures that our community is currently facing, with the increasing cost of living and rising interest rates, and our budgets have been impacted by these too. We have done what we can to manage planned spending, and as a result the overall rates rise will be 6.5%, which is lower than the 7% we had predicted for 2022-23.

We have had to adjust our capital programme and budgets to respond to challenges such as supply chain issues and increased costs. We still intend to do all the projects we’ve planned to do, but the timing for some projects has changed.

There was a lot of support for a tunnels trail to connect the central city to Mosgiel so we’re getting on with that. We also plan to spend a record $190 million on things like roads and footpaths, playgrounds and parks, water and wastewater, and community housing.

A few things have been delayed, such as the new South Dunedin library and community complex. However, in the meantime, we’re opening up the former Veggie Boys premises for the community to use.

We’re making good progress on some of the big projects already underway, like building the new Mosgiel Pool, fixing up the railway station and upgrading George Street.

Our plan is ambitious and exciting, and it continues to deliver on the commitments we made in our 10 year plan, to invest in the future of this great small city.

Mayor of Dunedin
