THE INTEGRATED PLANNING AND REPORTING (IP&R) FRAMEWORK The IP&R framework was first introduced by the Office of Local Government in 2009. It is based on the idea that Council planning should be linked directly to community priorities. The framework is made up of several different plans that work alongside each other. When looked at together, the plans show how: • the community has expressed their vision and priorities • community members, community groups and others can play an active role in shaping the future • the community’s priorities flow down to other plans, including the services and activities in the yearly operational plans • resources will be managed to work towards the vision and priorities, while also balancing expectations with affordability • progress is being made towards the community’s vision and priorities through measuring, monitoring and reporting. The following diagram shows how the plans fit together. For more information visit: https://www.olg.nsw.gov.au/councils/integrated-planning-and-reporting/
