Effective planning (and reporting) helps organisations to implement actions that are in line with agreed long-term objectives. It focuses on broad issues to address the questions:
- Where are we now?
- Where do we want to be in ten year’s time?
- How will we get there?
- How will we know we’ve arrived?
We embrace the integrated planning and reporting as outlined in the Act (sections 401 ff) and the Office of Local Government Local Government Planning and Reporting Manual. It is further described in Appendix 2 Integrated Planning and Reporting and summarised below.
