OUR PLANNING FRAMEWORK The Integrated Planning and Reporting (IP&R) Framework guides the way local government plans, documents and reports its future strategies. The IP&R Framework begins with the community’s aspirations over a period of least 10 years, which is considered by each newly elected council and is underpinned by a suite of integrated plans that set out a vision and objectives. The Framework then examines specific actions to achieve those aspirations. It involves a reporting structure to communicate progress to the Council and the community as well as a structured review timeline to ensure the goals and actions are still relevant.
Community Engagement Strategy The Community Engagement Strategy is based on social justice principles and details how we engage with our community to prepare the Community Strategic Plan.
