2. THE COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN 2.1 The Community Strategic Plan Local Government Act Each council must develop and endorse a Community Strategic Plan, on behalf of its local government area. The plan must identify the community’s main priorities and aspirations for the future. Essential Element 1.1 The Community Strategic Plan should be developed and delivered as a partnership between Council, state agencies, community groups and individuals. It should address a broad range of issues that are relevant to the whole community. The Community Strategic Plan essentially addresses four key questions for the community: Where are we now Where do we want to be in 10 years’ time How will we get there How will we know we’ve arrived Council’s role is to guide the community through these important discussions and to document the response in a meaningful plan. However, it should be clearly understood that it is not the council’s responsibility to deliver every aspect of the Community Strategic Plan. It is important to explain this during the engagement process, or the community will not take ownership of the document and may develop unreasonable expectations about Council’s role in the delivery process. The Community Strategic Plan should aim for a partnership – what can individuals, community groups, state agencies and Council do to deliver the desired outcomes It should also aim to establish partnerships or other arrangements to minimise the chance of the plan becoming a ‘shelf document’. The Community Strategic Plan should address the entire local government area, although councils may choose to include place specific sections if this is relevant to the community. It is also possible for the Community Strategic Plan to be undertaken on a regional basis, in cooperation with a number of council areas. However, councils should bear in mind that they will be required to develop their own Resourcing Strategy and Delivery Program based on the regional plan. Planning & Reporting Manual Page 18 of 115
2. THE COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN Requirements for County Councils Local Government Regulation The Regulation provides the exemptions and modifications to the strategic planning provisions in Part 2 of Chapter 13 of the Act for County Councils. It is not expected that County Councils will prepare a Community Strategic Plan as such, because this work will be undertaken by their constituent councils. However, County Councils will be required to prepare a minimum 10 year strategic plan for the activities undertaken by their organisation. This plan must give due regard to the Community Strategic Plan/s of the constituent councils and be developed in consultation with the constituent councils. Community engagement will also be required on the issues specific to the County Council’s plan. Specific exemptions and modifications to clarify the requirements for county councils are included in the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005. Councils under administration In the event that a council is placed under administration, the Community Strategic Planning process will continue as normal. It will be the Administrator’s responsibility to guide the community engagement process for the Plan and to work in co-operation with council staff to ensure the draft Community Strategic Plan, Resourcing Strategy and Delivery Program are developed.
