Coquitlam’s integrated planning framework includes separate but complementary planning processes. These processes result in a set of integrated plans that support the overall vision and values of the City, and they enable us to align activities and resources to achieve the strategic goals and annual business plan priorities set by Council. The City of Coquitlam’s business plan lays out the organization’s highest priorities, to be initiated and/or completed in 2019. This plan is one of the key tools used by the City to ensure Council priorities are delivered in an effective and efficient manner.
