The Division of Local Government has introduced a new reporting framework for NSW local government known as the Integrated Planning and Reporting (IP&R) Framework. This new reporting framework replaces the former Management Plan and Social Plan with an integrated framework that includes a Community Strategic Plan, a Delivery Program, an Operational Plan and a Resourcing Strategy. The new Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework is represented graphically below.
The new framework recognises that communities do not exist in isolation, and neither should Council’s individual plans. The framework encourages councils to draw their various plans together, to understand how they interact and to get the maximum leverage from their efforts by planning holistically for the future.
The new framework also opens the way for councils and their communities to have important discussions about funding priorities, service levels and preserving local identity and to plan in partnership for a more sustainable future.
Council has now completed all the requirements of the IP&R Framework, and Council’s IP&R plans and strategies can be accessed below.
Community Strategic Plan The Community Strategic Plan (CSP) aims to identify the community’s main priorities and aspirations for the future and to plan strategies for achieving these goals. In doing this, the planning process will consider the issues and pressures that may affect the community and the level of resources that will realistically be available to achieve its aims and aspirations.

Operational Plan and Delivery Program
The Delivery Program (DP) is a statement of commitment to the community from each newly elected Council. The Council is accounting for its stewardship of the community’s long-term goals, outlining what it intends to do towards achieving these goals during its term of office and what its priorities will be. Supporting the DP is an annual Operational Plan (OP) which details projects and deliverables to be undertaken in the following year to achieve the commitments made in the Delivery Program. The Operational Plan is in effect Council’s budget for the following year and also includes Council's Statement of Fees and Charges for that corresponding financial year.

Asset Management Plans are long-term plans that outline the assets required for each service provided by an entity, the expected service level to be provided from these assets, and most importantly, what funds are required to ensure that the services that these assets provide to the community can continue to be provided well into the future.
Asset Management Plans generally include information on: • A demand forecast of future asset and service requirements ; • The expected service level to be provided by the assets controlled by the entity; • What assets an entity controls; • Long-term cash flow predictions for maintaining/renewing the assets controlled by an entity so that the required level of service can be achieved; • Indicators that can be used to ensure that assets are managed effectively over their lifecycle; • Critical assets including a risk assessment on how to manage risks associated with critical assets; • The way forward to improve asset management within an organisation.
