Introduction
The draft 2022/25 Delivery Program and draft 2022/23 Operational Plan are presented to Council, and the community for consideration. To comply with s404 and s405 of the Local Government Act, 1993, plans are required to be placed on public exhibition for twenty-eight (28) days, inviting submissions from the public.
Delivery Program (DP)
The Delivery Program (DP) is a statement of commitment to the community from each newly elected council and translates the community’s strategic goals into clear actions.
It is the primary reference point for all activities undertaken by a council during its term of office. It allows councils to determine what is achievable over the ensuing 4 years, what the priorities are, and how programs will be scheduled. It should be noted that the draft Delivery Program is only 3 years, due to the delayed local government elections held in December, 2021.
Operational Plan (OP)
The Operational Plan (OP) is a council’s action plan for achieving the community priorities detailed in the Community Strategic Plan (CSP) and Delivery Program (DP).
An OP is prepared each year and presented to a council for adoption. Each OP identifies the projects, programs and activities that a council will conduct to achieve the commitments of the DP.
The draft resourcing strategy which consists of the Workforce Management Plan, 10yr Long-Term Financial Plan and Asset Management Plan, will be prepared and submitted for the consideration of Council at its Ordinary Meeting scheduled to be held 28th June, 2022.
Following Council’s endorsement of the draft 2022/23 Operational Plan to be placed on public exhibition, it will be made available for inspection at the Council Offices, Libraries and on Council’s website.
