Risk & Opportunities
Periodic reporting of departmental performance allows Council to fulfil their governance
responsibilities and ensures transparency within the organisation and to the community.
While the impact of COVID-19 on departmental operations has lessened this quarter some
departmental projects/programs are still impacted e.g. delays in training delivery and workforce
planning.
The resignation of the People and Culture Manager will impact on the delivery of P&C services with
some work being reprioritised in the short term. The recruitment process for the new Manager will
commence mid-August.
Increasing demand for Governance Services and limited resources within the branch have resulted
in the delay of several governance projects however with the appointment of a temporary
Governance Project Officer progress has been made in implementing the Enterprise Risk
Management Framework. The review of Governance Arrangements (nearing completion) will
provide direction in relation to resourcing requirements and opportunities for greater efficiencies.
