Our Strategies and Plans
Annual Report
Each year we publish an Annual Report, which contains the audited accounts for the past financial year and compares achievements against the financial and non-financial performance measures set out in the Annual Plan or the 10-Year plan.
Annual Residents Survey
Each year we check in with our community to see how satisfied residents and ratepayers are with their council's performance.
This year an independent research company Key Research conducted a telephone survey targeting 400 Waipā residents picked at random. The survey measured how satisfied residents were with the council's performance and identified areas for improvement.
Fees and Charges
Our Fees and Charges are reviewed annually and updated when required to better reflect the true cost of providing services, as per Council's Revenue and Financing Policy.
Financial Strategy
The Financial Strategy is a key part of the Long Term Plan 2015-2025 and it explains the financial background guiding Waipā's plans for the next 30-Years.
Governance Statement
Our Governance Statement is a collection of information about the processes that we use to engage with the district's residents. It outlines how we make decisions and shows how residents can influence those processes.
Infrastructure Strategy
The 30-Year Infrastructure Strategy covers issues around the district's water supply, wastewater, stormwater drainage, and roads and footpaths.
Iwi Environment and Management Plans
We have developed a policy and structure with Māori to facilitate greater participation in our decision-making processes.
Pre-Election Report
The Pre-election report provides an outline of Council's planned major projects and spending for the next three years and encourages informed discussion ahead of the October 2016 local elections.
Remuneration Authority
Under the Local Government Act, the Remuneration Authority sets the base remuneration for all elected members of local authorities including community boards.

2022-2052 Waipā Transport Strategy
The 2022-2052 Waipā Transport Strategy sets out the direction for our transport system over the next 30 years.
Our vision is People and freight in Waipā have access to an integrated, safe, sustainable transport system that provides a range of travel choices / He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tāngata, He tāngata, He tāngata People are at the centre of our solutions .

Transport Procurement Strategy
The Transport Procurement Strategy for roading works is a document with the task of demonstrating how we will procure our roading programme whilst continuing to meet the requirements of the Land Transport Management Act 2003 (LTMA).
This strategy provides forward visibility of our roading work programme which enables consultant and contractor resources to be provided more effectively to meet the district's needs.
Waste Management and Minimisation
The Waste Management and Minimisation Plan describes how we currently manage our waste and how the Council believes we should be managing our waste in the future.
