Our IPR framework, vision and strategic directions

CN’s Integrated Planning and Reporting (IPR) framework underpins our CSP, Newcastle 2030.

The CSP is delivered through 7 strategic directions, and this annual report evaluates and reports what we have achieved in these areas during 2021/2022.

The IPR framework outlined below demonstrates how our vision and long-term plans, including financial, asset and workforce management plans, inform our strategic directions and deliverables each year. Deliverables are outlined in the annual operational plan (Our Budget 2021/2022), which connects actions to budgets. Quarterly reporting against the operational plan ensures progress is monitored and challenges are responded to in a timely manner.

In April 2022, CN adopted our new CSP, Newcastle 2040, which has 4 new strategic directions: Liveable, Sustainable, Creative and Achieving Together. This annual report is the last to evaluate against the Newcastle 2030 CSP and its 7 strategic directions. The IPR framework below reflects the new suite of documents aligning to Newcastle 2040.
