The draft council plan will be unveiled at Monday's public council meeting which will guide the work of city hall over the next four years.

While the plan doesn't go into much detail about some of its ideas, it does foreshadow changes for AquaZone.

The council plans to develop and implement an aquatic strategy, which would include a new business model for AquaZone, "to guide the improvement and strategic use of facilities to increase community participation in physical activities".

The gymnastics has also been earmarked for attention with plans to move it to a sustainable business model.

Improving disability access at council-owned facilities is also in the agenda.

The possibility of pursuing funding for a potential regional animal shelter redevelopment in collaboration with surrounding municipalities has also been flagged.

Mayor Vicki Jellie says in the draft report that when it comes to major new infrastructure, the council's initial focus would be on successfully completing existing major projects such as Reid Oval, Edwards Bridge, the new library and Lake Pertobe revamp.

"While we will not stop being aspirational, we believe that the next 12 to 18 months is the right time to take stock and 'steady the ship'," she says.

"Looking further ahead, council will consider how we make our livestock exchange more effective and will also investigate the possibilities and opportunities provided by Flagstaff Hill."

The council is also developing a business case for the redevelopment of the art gallery onsite or in a new location.

"We believe this cautious approach to major new infrastructure accords with the community wishes," she says.

The draft council plan will go out for public feedback, and those making a submission will be given the chance to have their say at the June 7 ordinary meeting.
