PURPOSE OF REPORT
To report to Council on progress made toward achieving Key Performance Indicators as contained

BACKGROUND
Section 407 of the Local Government Act requires Council to report, within two months after the
end of each quarter, the extent to which the performance targets set in Council’s current
Management Plan have been achieved during that quarter.

The Management Plan contains seven principal activities, namely:
‣ Civic Leadership
‣ Integrated Planning
‣ Community Development
‣ Natural Environment
‣ Built Environment
‣ Financial Sustainability
‣ Council’s Corporate Services
Each of the principal activities contain a series of Objectives, Actions and Key Performance
Indicators which provide detail on how Council plans to achieve desired outcomes and how
performance will be measured.
