EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Chief Executive Officer to the Special Meeting dated 28 June
2022 and pursuant to section 174 of the Local Government Regulation 2012, and adopt for the 2022-
23 financial year its annual Operational Plan 2022/23, provided as Attachment 1 to the report.

REPORT
Council is required to adopt an Operational Plan each year which sets out its projects and priorities
that support it achieving its long-term objectives. As required by the legislation, Council’s progress
in achieving the outcomes set out in the Operational Plan is also reported to Council on a quarterly
basis.
The format and content of the 2022/23 Operational Plan was developed to reflect our current
Corporate Plan. The process for the development of a new of a new Corporate Plan will commence
in July 2022 with the involvement of the Chief Executive Officer, Scott Waters. The new Corporate
Plan will set Council’s strategic direction for the next 5 years and subsequently inform the
development of future Operational Plans and Budgets. Council should note that it is possible for an
Operational Plan to be amended at any time throughout the financial year.
1.    Operational Plan 2022/23 (see Attachment 1)
The Operational Plan has been based on our current Corporate Plan using the five Themes we have
adopted as a way of categorising our projects.
The content of the proposed Operational Plan 22/23 has been sourced from:
•     New initiatives proposed in the 2022/23 Budget;
•     The proposed Capital Works Program; and
•     Current projects that will continue.
A degree of judgement has been used to identify significant projects and issues that should be
included in the Operational Plan that Council will want to monitor on a quarterly basis during 2022/23.
Every new initiative is not included – only the significant ones.

2.    Branch Plans
Every branch within the Council has a Branch Plan. This plan sets out “business as usual” services
and activities of each branch as well as minor projects approved through the new initiative process.
Branch Plans also include other issues such as risk assessments. The Branch Plans are used at a
management level and link to staff performance review processes, management meetings and
operational risk management processes.
