What is the relationship between community outcomes and long term council community plans (LTCCP) under the LGA, and Resource Management Act (RMA) plans and national instruments under the RMA?
The LGA requires LAs to consult with their local communities and Crown Agencies to determine what public goods and services the community wants provided. This process leads to the development of ‘community outcomes’. These outcomes are then translated into a plan of action referred to as the LTCCP. This is a ten year strategic planning document, and covers all LA functions from financial planning and economic development initiatives, to social service provisions such as libraries, housing and community facilities. LTCCPs must be reviewed triennially. The RMA establishes a hierarchy of policy documents from national instruments to regional policy statements, and regional and district plans. This ‘hierarchy’ and requirement to ensure consistency between plans, is to promote sustainable management and ensure integrated management of natural and physical resources at a national, regional and local level. The LTCCP does not override the provisions of RMA plans (or other statutory documents)
