Key issues facing Council The forecast of the financial impact of the Council’s proposed operations and capital expenditure over the next 10 years is contained in the Strategic Statement. It summarises the reasons why the Council engages in its various activities and outlines the important assumptions and key indicators about the Christchurch and regional economy that are the "drivers" of the strategy. The strategic statement is reviewed every three years.
