How will the ECMP be implemented?

1.5.1

Council delivery mechanisms

The Manning River and Estuary CMP is a multi-stakeholder program with actions led by MidCoast Council and other NSW government agencies. Council’s actions have two delivery mechanisms, as described in section 1.1.4: •

MidCoast Council’s Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework (IP&R Framework)

•

Land-use Planning framework

The IP&R Framework was introduced to New South Wales Councils in 2012. It links Council operations with community aspirations by starting with a 10-year Community Strategic Plan that is implemented via the 4-year Delivery Program and 1-year Operational Plans. The framework can be seen in Figure 9. Most of the CMP actions led by Council will be delivered through the IP&R Framework. Figure 9: The Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework
