4. THE DELIVERY PROGRAM 4.1 General requirements Local Government Act A council must have a Delivery Program, detailing the principal activities it will undertake to achieve the objectives of the Community Strategic Plan, within the resources available under the Resourcing Strategy. The Delivery Program must cover a four-year period commencing on 1 July following each ordinary election. Essential Element 3.1 Each council must prepare and adopt its Delivery Program by 30 June in the year following a local government ordinary election. The Delivery Program is the point where Council takes ownership of Community Strategic Plan objectives that are within its area of responsibility. The Program is designed as a fixed-term four year plan to align with the council electoral cycle. Each new council is responsible for preparing a new Delivery Program, in response to the Community Strategic Plan. There is a nine month overlap period to allow the new council to undertake community engagement and preparation for the Program. In this period, the council should continue to implement the final nine months of the previous council’s Program. The new framework differs from the previous Management Plan requirements in that the Management Plan was a minimum three year rolling plan. The Delivery Program is a fixed-term plan because each council will be held accountable for implementing the Program within its term. The outgoing council will report to the community on what it has achieved in this regard. Planning & Reporting Manual Page 86 of 115
4. THE DELIVERY PROGRAM 4.2 Single point of reference Because the Delivery Program is the key accountability mechanism for each council, it is important that it embrace all aspects of the council’s operations. The aim is to create a document that Councillors and staff should regard as their central reference point for decision making and performance monitoring. Although it may seem challenging to incorporate regulatory and business functions into the Program at first, these activities should be carried out in such a way as to achieve Council’s wider strategic objectives. Examples of incorporating these areas into the Program are included in this section. Integrating the plans Essential Element 3.2 The Delivery Program must directly address the objectives and strategies of the Community Strategic Plan and identify specific actions that council will undertake in response to the objectives and strategies. Essential Element 3.4 The Delivery Program must address the full range of council operations. It is important to remember that the Delivery Program is part of a larger process – the Community Strategic Plan sets the community’s agenda for the future, the Resourcing Strategy identifies matters that are within Council’s realm of responsibility, and the Delivery Program and Operational Plan spell out Council’s plan of action for responding to these matters. The strategies identified in the Community Strategic Plan should be carried through to the Delivery Program and the actions identified in the Delivery Program should be carried through to the Operational Plan. The diagram that follows shows how the various levels of the planning framework connect.
