Annual Report 11/12

The purpose of the Annual Report is to look at Council's accomplishments in the financial year from 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012. The Annual Report is the primary means of advising the Far North community of Council's financial and non financial performance during the 2011/12 financial year against the objectives set out in the Council's Long Term Community Plan 2009/19 and the 2011/12 Annual Plan budget. The Annual Report also outlines challenges which the Far North community has faced.

This Annual Report 2011/12 is the third in the series to be produced in the measurement against our 10 Year Plan 2009/19 (otherwise now known as the Long Term Plan). For this reason, we have branded this report the "Third year into our footprint on the future".

Council has taken the decision to reduce its impact on the environment by not printing the full Annual Report document. Instead a compact disk (CD) version is available and the full printed Annual Report is available online at www.fndc.govt.nz Both are available by request.
