Our annual plan for activities, spending and funding for 2019 and 2020.

The key focus for this annual plan is protecting Christchurch’s drinking water supply and improving the health of the city’s waterways while keeping rates at below forecasted levels.
An average rate increase of 4.79% has been agreed, which is less than the forecast in the 2018-28 Long Term Plan. For more details read the article on Newsline.
