Framework Diagram 2. Community Engagement Framework Responsible Officer: David Evans - General Manager Leanne Harris - Group Manager Service Planning and Regulation Monica Gibson - Manager City Strategy Author: April McCabe - Strategic Project Planner EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The draft Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework has been developed with the primary aim to improve all NSW council’s long term community, financial and asset planning. The draft planning and reporting framework will replace the current Management Plan, Social Plan and Annual Reporting requirements with an integrated framework consisting of: • A 10-year Community Strategic Plan; • A Resourcing Strategy – consisting of a 10-year Asset Management Plan; a a 10-year Financial Management Plan and a Workforce Management Plan; • A 4-year Delivery Plan; and • Annual Operational Plan. This report suggests that Council should make a request for inclusion in the group of Council’s required to adopt the Community Strategic Plan by March 2011 and adopt a 4-year Delivery Plan by 30 June 2011. This timing provides a logical fit with Council’s current corporate planning review program and the preparation of the Maitland LEP 2011. A framework of community engagement through a staged approach for the preparation of Maitland 2021 is recommended. The framework outlines the purpose for each stage and will be supported by the preparation of a community consultation plan for each stage, detailing the specific methods of consultation. The preparation of a 10-year vision for the City and Council’s long term planning through an integrated planning and reporting framework enables a more effective approach to the delivery of the identified priorities of the Council, the community and partner government departments and agencies.
