Integrated Planning and Reporting

Local Governments are required to develop several strategic documents, which form an integrated planning and reporting framework for establishing local priorities. The strategic documents are informed by a wide range of factors including but not limited to: relevant legislation; State and Federal Government policies, plans, and strategies; community engagement and feedback; Elected Members and Council Staff input; current partnerships and projects already being delivered.

Strategic Community Plan

Our Strategic Community Plan reinforces our commitment to the people who live in, work in, and visit Corrigin. The purpose of this document is to provide a clear purpose and strategic direction for our Shire, and to source the funding and support required to address the identified community priorities.

It was developed based on:

  • The State Government’s Blueprint for the region and other relevant policies, plans and strategies from both the State and Federal Governments.
  • Extensive community engagement on what is important to the people that live within our Shire.
  • Input from Elected Members and Staff based on feedback they have received and their strong desire to deliver positive outcomes for their community.
  • Current partnerships and projects already being delivered.

How the Strategic Community Plan will be used

The Shire of Corrigin uses the Strategic Community Plan in several ways, including:

  • Guiding priority setting and decision making
  • Providing a mechanism for the ongoing integration of local planning initiatives
  • Informing decision making of other agencies and organisations, including community and State Government
  • Providing a rationale to pursue grants and other resources by demonstrating how specific projects align with the aspirations of our community, within the strategic direction of the Shire
  • Informing potential investors and developers of our community’s key priorities, and the way we intend to grow and develop
  • Engaging local businesses, community groups and residents in various ways to contribute to the Shire’s future
  • Providing a framework for monitoring progress against our vision.

Corporate Business Plan

The Corporate Business Plan defines the facilities, services, programs, and projects the Shire will undertake to deliver the community priorities that are detailed in the adopted Community Strategic Plan. Appended to the plan is a financial forecast for the next four years taken from the long-term financial plan.

The Corporate Business Plan is reviewed and updated annually to reflect any changes to the long-term financial plan, service levels, and to include any new programs, projects or strategic initiatives.

Long Term Financial Plan

The Long Term Financial Plan is an important tool that demonstrates the alignment between the Shire’s financial capacity and the strategic objectives identified by the community in the Strategic Community Plan. This plan allows the Shire to set priorities based on the ability to identify resources to deliver the identified objectives in a sustainable manner.

The plan is a 15-year plan that informs the Corporate Business Plan to activate the priorities from the Strategic Community Plan and underpins the development of the Annual Budget.

Workforce Plan

The Workforce Plan is a continuous process designed to shape our workforce and to ensure that it has the capacity to deliver our objectives into the future.

The Workforce Plan considers the community’s aspirations, priorities and objectives identified in the Strategic Community Plan. 

The Workforce Plan is an essential component of the Corporate Business Plan, where it will identify workforce requirements and strategies for current and future operations over the next four years or more.
