2022-06-28 Special Meeting - Item 2 - Attachment 1 - Operational Plan 22-23

About the Operational Plan
The Noosa Council Corporate Plan 2017 - 2037 outlines Council’s 20-year vision for the Noosa Shire
and strategic direction for Council. It identifies long term goals under five key Themes and identifies
key focus areas which inform Council’s corporate planning and annual budget process.

The Operational Plan 2022/23 outlines initiatives and services that Council will undertake to advance
the key focus areas and goals of the Corporate Plan for the financial year in accordance with the
adopted budget. The Operational Plan 2022/23 and the annual Budget 2022/23 are complementary
documents and are developed in parallel to provide consistency between commitments in Council’s
work program and the resourcing allocations determined as part of the annual Budget.

Section 104(5) of the Local Government Act 2009 and Section 175 of the Local Government
Regulation 2012 set out the requirements and content for an operational plan. The Regulation
provides that the operational plan must:
     - be consistent with the annual budget
    - state how a Council will:
        -   progress the implementation of the five-year corporate plan and
        -   manage operational risks.

The Operational Plan has been prepared consistent with these requirements.

A review of the Noosa Council Corporate Plan will commence in July 2022 to assess Council's
progress in achieving its long-term vision and to determine Council’s strategic direction and priorities.
The new Corporate Plan will then inform the development of the Operational Plan and Budget in
2023/24.
