2. THE COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN 2.9 Setting objectives This is the point where the Plan starts to take shape, by identifying the high level objectives or aspirations of the community – the things that define more specifically what the long-term vision will look like. Councils can call them whatever they wish - some councils currently use the terms Strategic Goals, Strategic Outcomes or Strategic Directions. An example follows from a community strategic plan prepared by a metropolitan council. The community has chosen to group its objectives under chapters and headings. Chapter 2: Moving Our City Ahead Making our environment & beaches sustainable Objectives The natural environment of our coastal zone is protected and improved There are more native plants, trees and animals and they are nurtured and protected Local air quality is improved Water resources are conserved Open and green space looks and feels better, is protected from overdevelopment and overuse and is expanded where appropriate Waste going to landfill is reduced and there is more recycling and reuse There is no set requirement for what the objectives should be, or how many each community should have. However, it is recommended that the objectives are kept to a manageable number and it may be helpful to group them under common headings or chapters. Planning & Reporting Manual Page 44 of 115
2. THE COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN 2.10 Developing strategies Each objective (or set of objectives) must be accompanied by a list of strategies that will be implemented to achieve the objective. The new planning framework is designed to cascade into increasing levels of detail, to ensure that high level aspirations eventually result in some form of measurable action. The objectives are the first cut – the broad directional statements. The strategies are the second cut – this is where the objectives start to take on more shape – How will we actually achieve these objectives On which key areas do we need to focus Ultimately, the strategies will cascade down into the Delivery Program - where they will be fleshed out with more specific timeframes and responsibilities added - and finally into the Operational Plan. Using the example on the previous page, this is how Council expanded its objectives into strategies: Strategies Objectives The natural environment of our coastal zone is protected and improved There are more native plants, trees and animals and they are nurtured and protected Local air quality is improved Water resources are conserved Open and green space looks and feels better, is protected from overdevelopment and overuse and is expanded where appropriate Waste going to landfill is reduced and there is more recycling and reuse Improve the quality and reduce the quantity of stormwater discharged into the ocean and environment Improve the environmental performance of council operations and facilities Encourage less dependence on cars to reduce air pollution Carry out an education campaign to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by council and the community Reduce the demand for water through more education and improving practices and technology Work with the community, especially businesses and visitors, to minimise negative environmental impacts Regenerate and link native vegetation to boost local populations of plants and animals Promote local biodiversity through community education Minimise the environmental impacts of usage on open or green space Connect reserves to create a network Create open and green spaces that are clean, green and well maintained with improved design and function Investigate opportunities to create more open space by acquiring more land or encouraging more flexible use of existing space Improve waste avoidance and resource recovery practices within council operations and in the community Reduce littering, illegal dumping and waste generation and improve recycling through community education and enforcement Participate in regional waste avoidance and recycling initiatives, and investigate new technologies to stop waste from ending up as landfill Planning & Reporting Manual Page 45 of 115
