RESOLVED:
(1) That Council approves the Council Plan (Appendix A) with the three new Council Priorities as outlined below:
· People First
· Sustainability
· A Brighter Future Together
(2) That Council delegates the authority to make any minor changes in relation to the Council Plan to the Managing Director in consultation with Leader and Deputy Leader of the Council.
REASON FOR DECISION: The Council Plan is a key element of the corporate business planning process, as a high- level strategic document it sets out the Council’s Priorities for the next year. As an overarching policy framework document, it guides and influences the use of Council resources; providing a focus for activities, plans and services the Council provide. There is a need to provide closer links between the Council Plan and Medium-Term Financial Strategy
