4
STRATEGIC PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES – 2011 to 2012
1 Preparation of Community Engagement Policy
Includes a review of existing methods used by Council such as the
Pirie-odical; the calling for public submissions; budget consultation. as
well as reviewing the use of emerging technology; listening posts etc.
2 Preparation of Council “Master Plan”
The Master Plan is the “missing link” between Council’s Strategic Plan;
various specialist plans and Council’s Annual Business Plan. The
Master Plan will seek to provide a timetable and priorities for the
implementation of Council’s Strategic Plan and the various specialist
plans with the required resources for inclusion in Council’s Annual
Business Plan. The Master Plan will set the vision for Our community
and towns in a practical sense.
3 Improve financial and performance reporting
This process involves the move to monthly (rather than quarterly)
financial reporting; reporting in a simplified manner; and involve the
use of KPI’s, benchmarks and non-financial indicators. The format will
also include reporting against Council’s Strategic Plan and ultimately
will provide a report card on the health of the organisation.
