There's no other questions, would someone like to move the recommendation? Moved by Councillor Wilson, seconded by Councillor Finzel. Would you like to talk to the motion, Councillor Wilson? Anyone else wish to talk to the motion? Those in very favour? Much. That's unanimous. Can we move on to the next item? Which is. Thank you. Thanks. We invite Deb I-easy to the. Yeti. Hey, yeti, sorry. I know that, yes. I was just doing it phonetically, wasn't I? All right, thank you. All right, thank you. And she will talk through the annual performance report, including the fourth quarter operational plan for 2023-24.

Okay, thank you, Council. This report provides an overview of the organisation's performance over the 23.24 financial year. It actually builds on the quarterly report that we normally do on the progress of the operational plan, so this report does include progress and commentary against all initiatives to provide you with a fairly detailed understanding of how things have progressed and how particular projects have progressed. It also highlights our operating environment and some of the factors that have influenced our progress and highlights 13 initiatives which give a sort of a. Spectrum of the types of projects that we work on and start both in extent and in the. And in type. So over 2023/24 there were several factors in our operating environment which posed both opportunities and challenges and I mentioned that just briefly before. These factors were things like our local government elections which where we which resulted in us deferring some decisions, a very hot construction sector, cost increases, and skill shortages. Now on the positive side in response we've carefully monitored our project planning, we've continued to focus on developing our capabilities, with a focus on our people, financial sustainability, our business systems, and our community, and these are identified within the body of the report. It may not contain all of them, but it does actually highlight the more significant ones. Overall, we've made considerable progress in progressing the initiatives in the 23 operational plan, but also in the normal routine delivery of our business as usual services to the community, and these are highlighted in the report. There are 149 initiatives listed in your listed in the operational plan, and 69% were either complete or on track, with 31% experiencing a minor or a major disruption. These initiatives are listed in attachment one, and a comment made against the progress against each of them, and then also overall, to give you a very good understanding across the various themes, the initiatives which are aligned. To the various themes in the Corporate Plan. Now, when we consider these results, it's really important to note there are initiatives which are phased or planned to be undertaken across more than one financial year, and so therefore they may not necessarily be completed in that year. There are also initiatives which have encountered disruptions which have extended project timelines, and in these situations they've been relisted in the new operational plan 24/25 which has already been adopted by Council, or they've been incorporated as part of our business as usual program delivery. And where this has occurred there actually notations against the relevant initiatives in that attachment one that I mentioned before. In addition this report provides an update on our operational KPIs which we routinely report on that's they're contained in attachment to two and an update on work being undertaken to review the performance measures in the Corporate Plan including the identification of supporting indicators which we will continue to refine and monitor. The Corporate Plan identified 65 performance measures, which did require us to do some unpacking of those and we've done quite a bit of work in that space and that work is actually identified in attachment three. We've still got some more work to do there to clearly align those performance measures with the outcomes for that we desired in the Corporate Plan but that is continuing and you'll see with an attachment three that we've actually identified some of the baseline data to give you an idea of how it comes up but again store what to be done in that space. So Councillors that's an overview to the report. Thank you.
