Planning for our region’s future is an important part of Environment Bay of Plenty’s work. To do this, we’ve prepared a Ten Year Plan that outlines what we propose to do over the next 10 years. It sets out the programme in detail for the next three years, and in outline for the seven years after that.

Council adopted The Ten Year Plan on 29 June 2006 and it took effect from 1 July 2006.
