Council Policies to be Adopted<br />
<strong>Shire</strong> Policies to be Noted<br />
Management Procedures to be Noted<br />
PURPOSE<br />
1. To consider the outcome <strong>of</strong> the review <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Shire</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kalamunda</strong> Policy<br />
Register and:<br />
• Revoke unnecessary and out dated Policies.<br />
BACKGROUND<br />
• Adopt new and revised Council Policies.<br />
• Note the new Management Procedures for Council Policies.<br />
• Note the new <strong>Shire</strong> Policies and their associated Management<br />
Procedures.<br />
2. Section 2.7 <strong>of</strong> the Local Government Act 1995 (“the Act”) provides that the<br />
development and adoption <strong>of</strong> policies is a key part <strong>of</strong> the role <strong>of</strong> Council.<br />
3. In addition, it is necessary for the Chief Executive Officer to develop policies<br />
to support his functions and responsibilities and provide direction and<br />
guidance to the administrative staff.<br />
DETAILS<br />
4. The <strong>Shire</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kalamunda</strong> Policy Register has been in need <strong>of</strong> a comprehensive<br />
review for some time to ensure that the policies are still relevant with respect<br />
to the <strong>Shire</strong>’s current strategic direction and operational environment.<br />
5. The current review has assessed all existing policies on this basis as well as<br />
incorporating recommendations arising out <strong>of</strong> recent forensic audits and other<br />
investigations.<br />
6. It is proposed that the new Policy Register will be divided into two parts<br />
consisting <strong>of</strong> Council Policies and their associated Management Procedures<br />
and <strong>Shire</strong> Operational Policies and Management Procedures.<br />
7. Additionally, the policy format was assessed for conciseness <strong>of</strong> direction and<br />
guidance as well as operational efficiency. As a consequence the format has<br />
been revised with the Policy Statement in a stand-alone document supported<br />
by a Management Procedure document.<br />
