How the Delivery Program and Operational Plan use our Resourcing Strategy

The City's Resourcing Strategy shows how we will implement and resource the Delivery Program and Operational Plan.

It consists of 3 components:

• Long-Term Financial Plan (LTFP)

• Workforce Management Strategy

• Asset management planning

The LTFP, Asset Strategy and Asset Management Plan are adopted by Council while the Workforce Management Strategy is endorsed by Council.

Workforce Management Strategy

The Workforce Management Strategy focuses on the workforce environment and the challenges before the City.

It is a key platform for creating a positive employee experience through our core themes of:

• Attracting our people

• Leading our people

• Protecting our people

• Rewarding our people

• Developing our people

• Supporting our people

Some of the major themes covered in the strategy are the challenging labour market and increased community expectations and service demands.

Asset management planning

Asset management planning explains the City’s asset management system and how to provide value to the community.

It aligns infrastructure creation, renewal and maintenance with financial planning and risk management. This planning also explains the value and known conditions of our assets.

The City currently manages 99,500 individual assets ranging from buildings and roads to water meters and road signs. These assets are valued at $2.7 billion.

Major drivers of our current asset management are population growth, technology advances, industry pressures (rising cost of materials and lack of resources), the environment and climate change.
