EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Chief Executive Officer to the Planning & Organisation
Committee Meeting dated 28 April 2015 providing an update on progress with the
implementation of the Operational Plan to 31 March 2015 and details of Council’s Key
Performance Indicators.


REPORT
This report is in two parts. The first part provides Council with an overview of progress in
implementing the annual Operational Plan. The second part focuses on the KPIs which are
reported to Council on a quarterly basis.

1.                       OPERATIONAL PLAN UPDATE

At previous Council committee meetings, Councillors indicated that they did not wish to have
the entire Operational Plan attached to the report but rather, to receive an overview of
progress and to have highlighted key projects. This report will extract some of the key issues
in the Operational Plan and update Councillors on progress.

A hard copy of the Operational Plan update has been provided in the Councillors’ Room if
any further detail is required.

We have also been thinking about the future format and structure of the Operational Plan.
At present, there is too much minor detail in the Operational Plan. In 2015/16, it is proposed
that each branch of Council have a branch plan which contains details of what that branch
needs to achieve. The Operational Plan should be focused on the key projects that Council
is delivering so that they can be monitored and delivered.

It is intended to discuss our thinking about the future format of the Operational Plan and
reporting at the Planning and Organisation Committee.

Details of the number of Operational Plan projects and their status (by Department) is set out
in the KPIs attached to this report. As requested at the Committee meeting when the second
quarter report was discussed, the CEO has identified a number of current Operational Plan
projects which are significant or high profile. An extract of the Operational Plan highlighting
these significant projects is set out below. For each Department, 3 or 4 key projects have
been identified from the Operational Plan.
