Integrated Planning and Reporting

The Community Strategic Plan is the highest level plan that a council will prepare. The purpose of the plan is to identify the community’s main priorities and aspirations for the future and to identify strategies for achieving these goals. A Community Strategic Plan must cover a minimum time frame of 10 years.

The Workforce Management Strategy is delivered over a 4-year period to support medium to long term workforce strategies that align with Council’s 4-year Delivery Program.

To develop the strategy, a whole of council approach was adopted which included:

• analysis of each element of the Delivery Program,
  
• engagement with key stakeholders and
• a Gap and Current State assessment.

This strategy and action plan assumes no significant change in the skills, specialist knowledge and competency profile of the Shire’s workforce.

Council's Long Term Financial Plan is part of our Resourcing Strategy, helping to ensure the community's long term goals and objectives are met.

This Asset Management Strategy is prepared to assist Council in improving the way it delivers essential services to the public.

This Delivery Program and Operational Plan is Council’s commitment to its community to perform all its functions. It outlines the principal activities and key annual tasks Council will deliver to advance the aspirations and priorities identified by our community.

The Delivery Program outlines the principal activities Council will undertake during the current Council term to advance the CSP, improve our organisation, and remain accountable to our residents. The Operational Plan sits beneath it, identifying annual actions, projects and resources.

Each year, Council reports on its implementation of the delivery program and operational plan in its annual report.

The annual report is one of the key points of accountability between a council and its community.
