The City of Stirling adopted its first suite of integrated plans in 2013/14 in accordance with the state government’s Integrated Planning and Reporting Guidelines.

In 2017/18, the City of Stirling conducted a major review of its Strategic Community Plan through consideration of resident priorities and an analysis of trends and drivers impacting the City. In total, over 2,000 community members were engaged to provide input and feedback. Research was also undertaken to understand changing demographics, future challenges and external plans from state and federal governments to ensure City of Stirling is well prepared for the next 10 years. This Corporate Business Plan has been updated to reflect the City’s long-term vision and the new emerging priorities identified by the community. It also details the services and projects the City will deliver over 2018 – 2022 to support achieving them. The Corporate Business Plan shapes how the City will use its resources over the next four years and has been

directly influenced by the City’s Long- Term Financial, Asset Management, Workforce and Strategic Information Management Plans. The Corporate Business Plan, in turn, guides the development of the 2018/19 Annual Budget, Service Plans and Annual Project Plans. In everything the City does, it will make the very best use of its finite, limited resources to achieve the greatest possible benefit for the community, while growing its capacity to deliver services important to the community. The Corporate Business Plan 2018 – 2022: • Outlines the City’s long-term vision, mission and values • Provides an overview of the Council and organisational structure • Links the Strategic Community Plan 2018 – 2028 outcomes to key projects and services
