Introduction

 Thank you for reading our Corporate Business Plan 2019/23.

 Section 5.56 of the Local Government Act 1995, requires WA local governments to Plan for
 the Future of the district. Amendments made in August 2011 to the Local Government
 (Administration) Regulations 1996 state a Strategic Community Plan and Corporate
 Business, together form a Plan for the Future of a district.

 Under Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996 regulation 19C (3), a
 Corporate Business Plan for a district is to:

    a) set out, consistently with any relevant priorities set out in the strategic community
       plan for the district, a local government’s priorities for dealing with the objectives
       and aspirations of the community in the district; and
    b) govern a local government’s internal business planning by expressing a local
       government’s priorities by reference to operations that are within the capacity of
       the local government’s resources; and
    c) develop and integrate matters relating to resources, including asset management,
       workforce planning and long-term financial planning.

In the preparation of the annual budget the Local Government is to have regard to the
contents of the plan for the future in terms of Section 6.2(2) of the Local Government Act
1995.

The Shire of Bridgetown-Greenbushes Corporate Business Plan 2019-2023 is a rolling four
year service and project delivery plan. It has been developed to align with the Shire’s 10
Year + Strategic Community Plan and provides the various actions to implement the
outcomes and strategies articulated in the Strategic Community Plan. The Corporate
Business Plan demonstrates how the aspirations that the community articulated in the
Strategic Community Plan will be delivered within the operational capacity of the Shire.

The Corporate Business Plan is reviewed annually. Every two years, the review will be in
conjunction with a minor or major review of our Strategic Community Plan.

                                                                                      Page | 1

Integrated Planning Framework

All Local Governments in WA are required to comply with the Integrated Planning and Reporting
Framework (IPRF). The core components are:

1. Strategic Community Plan
     Strategy for 10+ years
     Provides the vision, outcomes and Council’s strategic priorities
     Identifies long and medium term objectives
     Determines allocation of resources
     Shaped by community input

2. Corporate Business Plan
     Four-year delivery plan
     Aligned to Strategic Community Plan
     Financial projections

3. Annual Budget
     Financial statements and policies for one year

The Strategic Community Plan responds to three questions put to the community and the local
government:
        Where are we now?
        Where do we want to be?
        How do we get there?

The Shire’s Integrated Planning Framework addresses these needs by providing a process to:
        Ensure community input is obtained
        Determine long term (10+ years) objectives
        Identify the resourcing to deliver against the long term objectives
        Clearly articulate long term financial implications and strategies

Under the Integrated Planning Framework Council’s decisions take the community’s aspirations
into account and deliver the best results possible with the available resources.

The Strategic Community Plan sets the scene for the whole framework – it expresses the
community’s vision and priorities for the future and shows how the Council and community
intend to make progress over a ten year period.

Detailed implementation for the next four years is covered in the Corporate Business Plan. The
“Informing Strategies” – particularly the Long Term Financial Plan, Asset Management Plans and
Workforce Plan – show how the Plan will be managed and resourced.
The Strategic Community Plan is a ten year plan. However, it is not fixed for ten years – it would
be long out of date by then. Rather, it is a “rolling” plan which is reviewed every two years.

Integrated planning and reporting gives a local government a framework for establishing local

                                                                                                     P
priorities and for linking this information to operational functions. The Local Government
(Administration) Regulations 1996 require each local government to adopt a Strategic
Community Plan and a Corporate Business Plan.

A successful integrated planning and reporting process will deliver the following outcomes:
     A Strategic Community Plan that clearly links the community's aspirations with the
       Council's vision and long term strategy
     A Corporate Business Plan that integrates resourcing plans and specific council plans with
       the Strategic Community Plan.

Integrated Planning provides for:
     Strategic planning systems that deliver accountable and measurable linkages between
       community aspirations, financial capacity and practical service delivery
     Financial planning systems that accurately demonstrate a local government’s capacity to
       deliver services and manage assets that can sustain communities into the future
     Effective asset management systems with the rigour of process and integrity of data to
       accurately reflect true asset management costs

The Strategic Community Plan is the overarching plan guiding all the Shire’s activities. The Plan
identifies the issues that are important to our community, sets out the community’s vision and
objectives as well as strategies to implement the objectives.

For the Strategic Community Plan the two yearly reviews alternate between a minor review
(updating as needed) and a major review (going through all the steps again). The plan is
continuously looking ahead, so each review keeps a ten year horizon. This is to ensure that the
best decisions are made in the short to medium term.

The diagram on the following page illustrates the Shire of Bridgetown-Greenbushes’ Integrated
Planning and Reporting Framework and where the Corporate Business Plan, Strategic
Community Plan and various informing strategies together with the annual budget sit in the
Framework. The diagram illustrates the process used to guide Council’s decisions, resource
allocations and planning.

Our Council

The Shire of Bridgetown-Greenbushes has a structure of 9 councillors, 7 representing the South
Ward and 2 representing the North Ward. Local government elections are held every 2 years
with the next ordinary election scheduled for October 2019. After each ordinary election the
councillors elect a President and Deputy President.

The councillors are committed in serving our community. Although each councillor represents
one of two wards they do represent all electors of the district and make decisions in the overall
best interests of the community.

                                                                                     Current

How to Read our Corporate Business Plan

The layout of our Corporate Business Plan reflects the same five key goal areas as identified by
our 10+ Year Strategic Community Plan 2018. Each Key Goal is broken down into objectives and
strategies, defined as:

Objectives:
These are the community’s aspirations. A range of objectives sits under each key goal.
Strategies
These are the things that Council will do to achieve the objectives.
Actions
How each strategy is to be achieved.

The Corporate Business Plan lists actions against each of the strategies, detailing how each
strategy will be delivered. Although the Corporate Business Plan is a 4 year timeframe it is a
rolling document subject to annual review, hence a 5th year column (2021 onwards) has been
included so that projects or services not expected to be delivered for at least 4 years are not
overlooked in future reviews of the Corporate Business Plan and can also be factored into the
financial projections in the Long Term Financial Plan.

Each action is also supported with the following information:
  The year upon which the action is to be delivered – either in the form of an ‘X’ or by an
    expenditure amount. If expenditure is shown this is the cost of delivering the action. All
    capital expenditure is shown as well as any new operating expenditure required to deliver a
    new service. Where the action requires the continuation of existing expenditure it hasn’t
    been listed. For example Action 2.1.2.1 states that Council will maintain financial support of
    the community landcare service. As this is service is already being funded it is not shown as
    additional expenditure in the yearly column.
  Is the delivery of the action dependent upon external funding? If so, this is marked in that
    column. Note if the revenue isn’t received it is to be assumed that the action can’t be
    achieved.
  Responsible officer – this is the officer tasked with ensuring the action is delivered – not
    necessarily the officer that will actually deliver it as that may be a joint responsibility of
    more than one officer. Note typically the responsible officer is the senior officer with
    managerial oversight of the subject area however for actions in the Planning &
    Environmental Services Department the assignment has gone to a more specific level.

The Responsible Officer acronyms listed represent:
    CEO              Chief Executive Officer
    EMCOR            Executive Manager Corporate Services
    EMCS             Executive Manager Community Services
    EMDI             Executive Manager Development & Infrastructure
    GSPMT            Growth Strategy Project Management Team
    ELT              Executive Leadership Team

                                                                                                     Pa
