277: First statement of intent of other council-controlled organisations

You could also call this:

“Rules for making your first plan if you're a special council group that started before July 2003”

If you are part of a council-controlled organisation that existed on 1 July 2003, you need to know about a special rule. This rule doesn’t apply if you’re covered by section 276. For all other organisations like yours, you must have a statement of intent for the financial year that starts on 1 July 2004. This statement needs to follow the rules set out in section 64(1), but remember that section 64(2) might change some things. A statement of intent is a document that explains what your organisation plans to do and how it will do it.
