Aiming to meet community needs and aspirations

When we communicate and engage with our community, we are doing so within a strategic planning framework that governs how we as a Council plan and deliver the services we provide to our communities.

This framework is called the Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework which is established by the Office of Local Government. It guides all Councils in NSW to develop robust plans for delivering services and projects, by ensuring we have the plans, budgets and resources in place to deliver.

It also helps to make sure the day-to-day activities we do work towards our community’s long-term aims and aspirations.

The Community Engagement Strategy is an important part of this framework, illustrated below.
