“The Fine Print”
The Local Government Act and Regulations require certain statutory requirements to be
included in an Operational Plan. This part of our Operational Plan meets those
requirements:-

    Enterprise Risk Management Policy and Procedure ISO 31000, to identify and report on
    strategic and operational risks as required;
   The Council will receive reports on a quarterly basis from the CEO on progress towards
    achieving the initiatives identified in this Operational Plan; and
   The Council does not have any commercial business units as defined by the Local
    Government Act and Regulation.
