2022-07-12 - S&O Agenda - Item 3 - Attachment 1 - Governance Framework Report

 Additionally, there are legislative values that Council is required to comply with and that
 guide this Framework. The Queensland Public Sector Ethics Act 1994 identifies four key
 ethics principles essential to good public administration that guide our behaviour as
 public officials and underpin our Framework. These principles are:
   1.   Integrity and impartiality,
   2.   Promoting the public good,
   3.   Commitment to the system of government, and
   4.   Accountability and transparency.



 CORPORATE PLANNING
 Our corporate planning framework connects the various components of our corporate
 planning process to illustrate how our teams and individuals contribute to the success of
 our organisation. Each year Council will focus on its Operational Plan and Budget to
 ensure that:
   • the key focus areas identified in the Corporate Plan are prioritised during Council’s
     annual budget process,
   • resources are identified to bring the key focus areas to fruition, and,
   • performance measures are identified to monitor progress.

 In order to prioritise and identify various projects, initiatives and services to be funded and
 delivered by Council on behalf of the community each year, Council undertakes a robust
 process to ensure all proposed initiatives align with Council’s long term goals and
 strategies. The process also involves identifying the risks and opportunities associated
 with pursuing or not pursing a specific initiative leading to informed decision-making.
 This risk-based approach enables Council to appropriately prioritise spending and the
 allocation of resources each year, whilst at the same time informing possible future
 resourcing priorities.
