Corporate Plan, 2009-2012

The Corporate Plan is one of a suite of Council planning and reporting documents that sets a framework for the delivery of Council services and facilities to the community over the next three years. The plan is structured in three parts:

  Corporate Plan 2009-2012: Part A.pdf (566KB) of the Corporate Plan outlines Council's:

• organisational structure
• strategic direction
• three year financial forecast
• major projects
• statement of principal activities (services and facilities) within each of Council's four focus areas.

 Corporate Plan 2009-2012: Part B.pdf (2.99MB) outlines Council's:

• revenue policy
• financial statements
• detailed financial budgets for each principal activity listed in Part A.

 Corporate Plan 2009-2012: Part C.pdf (442KB) outlines the:

• schedule of fees and charges applicable for Council services during the 2008-09 financial year.

Council's statement of principal activities included in Part A of the Corporate Plan is set out under our four focus areas of environment, social, economic and governance. The statement describes how we are proposing to deliver our range of services and facilities to the community over the next three years and how we intend to report on our achievements.

In accordance with the Local Government Act 1993, Council places the Corporate Plan on public exhibition each year prior to adoption in order to obtain feedback from the community on Council's proposals. Whilst this satisfies statutory requirements, Council has recognised the need for greater involvement from the community in council decision-making to allow for better decisions and to give due consideration to the impact on and interest and concerns of all stakeholders.

Council's Community Participation Framework guides Council staff in wider community participation in the development of future planning documents to ensure that Council continues to deliver services and facilities that meet the needs of our community.

A limited number of paper copies of the Corporate Plan (Parts A, B and C) are available free of charge from all Council customer service centres and libraries or by telephoning Council on (02) 6581 8111. To reduce the amount of paper we use and thereby lessen our impact on the environment, we supply the Corporate Plan electronically , online (see above) and via CD. Special arrangements can be made for the Corporate Plan to be provided in large print or in an alternative media format. If you require this service please contact our customer service centre.

Your feedback on the Corporate Plan is welcomed so that we can continue to improve the quality of the format and information provided. A survey is included at the end of this document that enables readers to comment on the plan and we would encourage readers to complete and return the survey to one of our customer service centres.

Any further enquiries, please contact Council's Service Centre on telephone 6581 8111 or by email to council@pmhc.nsw.gov.au.
