Strategic Financial Plan
The Greater Shepparton City Council’s Strategic Financial Plan (SFP) 2010-2015 has been developed using the 10 year Financial Model recently introduced as a means of ensuring Council’s future financial sustainability.
The financial model is a dynamic tool which analyses financial trends over a ten year future period based on a range of assumptions and produces a means by which Council can assess its financial requirements balanced with its strategic objectives. Council has assessed a number of scenarios under this model and the one considered most beneficial to its future is in the attached SFP.
The Plan highlights the ongoing sustainability of the Council into the future and this is further enhanced by asset management programs and strategies that are being implemented. Council will continue to develop these programs over the next five years and this will provide confidence for the expenditure levels required in the future.
The continued allocation of funding towards the renewal of assets and the consistent level of funds applied to the upgrade and maintenance of assets will result in a positive investment for the community in the future.
Supporting this financial plan are the non financial resources, which are integral to the success of the Council and the services it delivers to the community. Council has developed strategies for these resources and the Plan provides an overview of the contribution they make to its outcomes.
Overall, the Strategic Financial Plan provides Council with a robust and sustainable financial outlook for the next ten years. Its continued commitment to provide efficient services and to fund the renewal and upgrade of its assets will result in positive long term viability for the community.
The SFP is a live document, which will be reviewed continuously and presented to Council annually.
