Planning and reporting
Our integrated planning and reporting identifies community aspirations and priorities and outlines how we will deliver these through our strategies and plans.
Why we’re doing this
Effective planning and reporting ensures we focus on the short-term issues and services indicated in the operational plan as well as medium and long-term challenges.
The integrated planning and reporting framework helps NSW councils align long-term community aspirations with strategic planning and operational delivery.

Action areas

- The delivery program is a 4 year plan that translates the community’s strategic goals into actions and it includes performance indicators to measure our progress.
- Our resourcing strategy identifies how our resources and assets will be used to deliver the community strategic plan and our delivery program.
- Our operational plan is a detailed annual plan outlining how we will meet the commitments in our delivery program. We regularly report our activities and progress towards our plans and targets.
