The Thames Coromandel District Council is preparing the 2015-2025 Long Term Plan with the first draft available for public consultation in March.

A number of Coromandel areas are rebounding from the global economic downturn and requests for capital projects from some community groups is growing rapidly.

Glenn says if a project is not in the upcoming plan council cannot receive Development Contributions for it.

'Our three anchor projects - the Coromandel Great Walks Project, Hauraki Rail Trail and Coromandel Harbour Facilities project - are not going ahead without government funding.”

This week Glenn reminded elected members of the work the TCDC has put in to avoid unnecessary burdens on ratepayers.
