Corporate Plan 2009-2012: Part B.pdf (2.99MB) - Hastings Council

About the plan
The Corporate Plan is one of a suite of Council planning and reporting documents that sets a framework for the delivery
of Council services and facilities to the community over the next three years. The plan is structured in three parts:
Part A of the Corporate Plan outlines Council’s:
organisational structure
strategic direction
three year financial forecast
major projects
statement of principal activities (services and facilities) within each of Council’s four focus areas.
Part B of the Corporate Plan outlines Council’s:
revenue policy
financial statements
financial budgets for each principal activity listed in Part A.
Part C of the Corporate Plan outlines the:
schedule of fees and charges applicable for Council services during the 2009-10 financial year.
Council’s statement of principal activities included in Part A of the Corporate Plan is set out under our four focus areas
of environment, social, economic and governance. The statement describes how we are proposing to deliver our range
of services and facilities to the community over the next three years and how we intend to report on our achievements.
In accordance with the Local Government Act 1993, Council places the Corporate Plan on public exhibition each year
prior to adoption in order to obtain feedback from the community on Council’s proposals. Whilst this satisfies statutory
requirements, Council has recognised the need for greater involvement from the community in council decision-making
to allow for better decisions and to give due consideration to the impact on and interest and concerns of all stakeholders.
Council’s Community Participation Framework guides Council staff in wider community participation in the development
of future planning documents to ensure that Council continues to deliver services and facilities that meet the needs of our
community.
A limited number of paper copies of the Corporate Plan (Parts A, B and C) are available free of charge from all Council
customer service centres and libraries or by telephoning Council on (02) 6581 8111. To reduce the amount of paper we
use and thereby lessen our impact on the environment, the Corporate Plan is also available in CD format or on our
website www.pmhc.nsw.gov.au. Special arrangements can be made for the Corporate Plan to be provided in large
print or in an alternative media format. If you require this service please contact our customer service centre.
Your feedback on the Corporate Plan is welcomed so that we can continue to improve the quality of the format and
information provided. A survey is included at the end of Part A that enables readers to comment on the plan and we
would encourage readers to complete and return the survey to one of our customer service centres. Alternatively, the
survey is available to be completed and submitted on-line on our website.
