Consultation on the Long-Term Plan will be open until 5pm Friday 30 April. The consultation document – This Way… 2031, submission forms and further information are available online at selwyn.govt.nz/thisway2031 and through Council offices and service centres. Information will also be provided through mail box drops. Mayor Sam Broughton is encouraging residents, ratepayers and stakeholders to make sure they have their say. “We have a number of big decisions ahead of us over the next decade,” he says. “It’s really important that we hear from the community about whether we’ve got the priorities right, and what things we might do differently. “With the district continuing to grow, we need to make sure we’re planning for the future but also looking after our existing assets and infrastructure, and completing the projects we’ve already started. “I hope everyone takes some time to read about our proposals, come to a drop-in session or talk to their local councillor – and give us feedback about what’s important to them over the next decade.” Details of community events and drop-in sessions will be available on the Council’s social media channels and at selwyn.govt.nz/thisway2031. Council General Manager Communication and Customers Stephen Hill says there is a variety of ways people can make a submission or give feedback, including through the online submission form, or by completing a quick poll on key topics. Printed copies of the consultation document and submission forms are also available, at the Council offices at Rolleston and all Selwyn libraries. The consultation document sets out eight key proposals which are open for consultation: · Continuing the current approach to maintaining safe water supplies, which meet community expectations, and comply with expected new regulations. · Changing how residents pay for the supply of drinking water, to meet increasing costs and to help manage high water demand. · Building a new piped wastewater system for Darfield and Kirwee. · Increasing funding for road maintenance. · An extensive programme of road upgrades and new transport projects. · Building a new community centre for Prebbleton. · Building a new combined library/service centre and community centre on Leeston Park. · Developing a new Hororata Community Centre on the domain. The average proposed rates increase for the 2021/22 year (starting 1 July 2021) is 4.9%, which is a total of $138, or $2.65 per week. Based on the proposals in the consultation document, average annual rate rises over the 10-year period are forecast to be 4% to 5% each year. For individual ratepayers the actual change may be smaller or greater, depending on their location and the services provided. Council easter opening hours Some Council services and facilities will be affected by the Easter public holidays. For a full list of opening hours over the weekend see selwyn.govt.nz Economy stays strong despite pandemic Selwyn's economy has continued to grow despite the impacts of the global pandemic. The district remains one of the best-performing economies in the country, with the latest figures from economic analysts Infometrics showing Selwyn's economy grew by 1.7% last year, compared to a 2.6% drop nationallly. This growth was reflected in consumer spending, which grew by 2.1% in the year to December 2020. Nationally, spending fell by 3.2% over the same time. Unemployment in Selwyn remained at almost half the national level, sitting at 2.6% at the end of the year compared to 4.6% nationally. The figures show construction and the agriculture and food processing industry were big factors in the strength of the Selwyn economy. The number of houses sold last year was up by 31.2%, and 34% more residential consent applications were filed with the Council. In 2020 the Council issued consents for 1530 individual houses and has continued receiving record numbers of building consent applications in 2021. Almost a quarter (23.2%) of people employed in Selwyn work in agriculture and food processing, where returns have been steady and are likely to increase in the coming year with a higher dairy pay out. The Infometrics figures underscore the region's decade of strong growth – with Selwyn seeing the second largest economic growth of any district in the country over the past 10 years. Mayor Sam Broughton says it has been good to see the way the economy and community have remained strong during the pandemic. “It was really heartening to see the way people in Selwyn pulled together to support each other in a tough year last year. We know we’re not through the full effects of that as a nation, and that there are sectors here in Selwyn that are still feeling the pinch. But it’s good to see much of our economy has remained strong, businesses are positive about the future and that we continue to support each other as a community.” Share your views on our local electoral arrangements As part of our representation review on the local electoral system in Selwyn we’re wanting to hear from you about “communities of interest” and your views about the local electoral system. This is about identifying the distinctive interests of a community, and how ward boundaries and electoral arrangements reflect those interests and respond to the community’s needs.
