Integrated Planning

The community’s long term plan for capturing the priorities and ideas of our people to create a better future for our region.  It guides Council’s decisions and actions, and informs our ongoing reviews of services and our other numerous strategies.  The plan is formed by the contributions and conversations of more than one thousand community members of the Snowy Valleys, whether through survey, submission or one of many engagement activities that took place across towns, villages and communities.

The annual Operational Plan spells out the individual projects and activities that will be undertaken for the year to achieve the commitments made in the four-year Delivery Program.  

The four-year Delivery Program represents Council's commitment to the community and the annual Operational Plan translates the strategies in the Delivery Program into specific actions. It’s supported by a detailed Budget and a Statement of Revenue Policy, which outlines the rates, fees, and charges for the year.

Council’s Delivery Program and Operational Plan and budget are combined and presented as one document.

The Delivery Program and annual Operational Plan are monitored throughout the year and reviewed half yearly and annually as part of Council’s performance reporting framework.

The Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP) is a tool that explores the long term impacts of Council's decisions, based on a set of assumptions (about areas where Council intends to reduce spending and/or increase revenues and so improve its financial sustainability). 

The Resourcing Strategy and Asset Management Plan are supporting documents which highlight the resources required to fulfil the Community Strategic Plan.
