The Local Government Act 2002 requires councils to produce a Long-Term Council Community Plan (LTCCP) every three years, an Annual Plan in the two intervening years and an Annual Report at the end of each June financial year.
The LTCCP must outline what Council proposes to do over the plan’s 10 year period, the activities it proposes to undertake, the cost of those activities and how they will be paid for, and the contribution these activities will have on the area’s community outcomes and well-being.
The Annual Plan is produced in the two intervening years between each three-yearly LTCCP. The purpose of the Annual Plan is to show any key changes (known as amendments or variations) to the LTCCP. It is intended to be a companion document to be read in conjunction with the base LTCCP.
Council must also produce an Annual Report at the end of each June financial year. The Annual Report shows how Council’s actual activities, service and performance measured up to its intended levels of service and performance that were outlined in a specific year of the LTCCP (as well as any changes for that year that were outlined in the relevant Annual Plan). |
