Background to Council Plan

Section 125 of the updated Local Government Act 1989 requires the Council to prepare and approve a Council Plan.The Council Plan must include:

• The strategic objectives of the Council

• Strategies for achieving the objectives for at least the next 4 years

• Strategic indicators for monitoring the achievement of the objectives

• A Strategic Resource Plan outlining the resources required to achieve the strategic objectives 

The Council undertakes a major review of its vision and objectives for the future, involving councillors, senior management and council staff. Councillors participated in a program of strategic planning workshops and information days to ensure the most complete understanding of current and future issues. Ongoing community consultation with a range of community groups and individuals are also vital in assisting councillors awareness of relevant issues and trends.

Council Plan 2009 – 2013

The ‘Council Plan 2009 – 2013’, is available for download from the link provided below, is the result of this major review. It is an important component of the Council’s long-term strategic planning, that guides the organisation’s budget-setting and reporting processes, and draws on the issues identified in the development of the Council’s Greater Shepparton 2030 strategy. A strategic planning and accountability framework, highlighting the Council Plan’s relationship to this and other strategic documents, is included in the plan.

While the ‘Council Plan 2009 – 2013’ has been prepared to guide the Council’s activities over the next four years, the Local Government Act 1989 also requires the review of the Council Plan every 12 months.
