Previous Council Consideration
Special Meeting, 27 June 2018, Item 3, Page 4
That Council note the report by the Chief Executive Officer to the Special Meeting dated 27 June
2018 and adopt the draft Corporate Plan 2017 – 2037 (June 2018 update) provided at Attachment
1 to the report for the purposes of public consultation.

Finance
The Corporate Plan provides strategic direction and priorities for Council in the longer term and
forms the basis of the annual Operational Plan and Budget.

Risks & Opportunities
   A local government is required to have a Corporate Plan under the Local Government Act. A
   good Corporate Plan helps set a clear direction for the organisation and a poor one runs the risk
   of inconsistent long term planning and a lack of consensus about a strategic direction.
