Make a submission

What happens to my feedback?

When you make a submission, you will be given the option on whether you want to present your view to the Council in person. If you do, we will book a time for you to attend a public meeting which will be held from 29 May to 31 May. You will be given up to five minutes to present your submission and answer any questions. Hearings in Tūrangi will be arranged if there are enough people wanting to present. Alternatively, you could choose to present your view to the Council electronically e.g. video call. Please let us know if this is your preference.

All submissions will be considered by Council regardless of whether you want to be heard or not. Final decisions will be made in May and the Annual Plan 2023-24 will be adopted at the end of June.

Please note – all submissions will be made available to the public via the Council website, including your personal details, however we will not release your contact details.

Need help with your submission?

Phone us on (07) 376 0899 for advice about making your submission or email us at annualplan@taupo.govt.nz.

If you’d like to speak with any of your local councillors or Mayor about any issues on the Annual Plan you can arrange a time by contacting them from the details available at www.taupo.govt.nz/yourcouncillors

Major decisions like these need to be a collaboration between Council and community to make sure we all get the best outcomes. The Annual Plan 2023-24 affects you and your whānau, so it’s important you have your say. It’s just as helpful to let us know the things you support as well as the things you don’t as what you tell us will guide our future decision making.
