RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Director Corporate Services to the Planning & Organisation
Committee Meeting dated 14 October 2014 providing an update on operations of the Corporate
Services Department.


REPORT
The adopted final organisation structure includes the following sections under the Corporate
Services Department:

                     Finance
                     Revenue Services
                     ICT (including Records)
                     Procurement & Fleet; and
                     Property & Facilities

Corporate Services primarily provides internal support to the other Council departments, with the
exception of the property team that deals primarily with land and property management issues.

The following table provides a brief summary regarding recent achievements, current priorities
and items on the agenda moving forward for the Corporate Services department.

With respect to the delivery of services to other parts of Council, consultation will begin shortly
with the Directors and Managers to gather feedback on service performance provided over the
last 10 months with a view to identifying any issues and ensuring effective internal support is
provided at appropriate levels into the future.
