This morning I am announcing the key elements of the proposal I will be bringing to Council for consideration when we meet to adopt the 2015-25 Long Term Plan (LTP) on 23 June.
 
When we commenced the Long Term Planning process last year, it was at the end of more than 6 months seeking to establish the true state of our finances and what our options might be if we were to get our city back on its feet.
 
Today's announcement is about ensuring that whoever steps up to serve the city in 2016 will inherit a credible and sustainable financial strategy that will stand the city in good stead for tackling all the challenges that still lie ahead.

Thank you for the opportunity to address you today.

My contribution is intended to help join the dots between the different sessions this morning and what we will hear this afternoon.
