City of Stirling Corporate Business Plan

Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework

In 2011, the Western Australian State Government introduced legislation requiring local governments to prepare an Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework. The framework requires the development of a ‘Plan for the Future’, comprising a 10-year Strategic Community Plan, a four-year Corporate Business Plan and supporting resource plans.

Measurement, assessment and reporting are important parts of the framework, enabling continuous improvement and ultimately supporting progress towards the community’s vision and objectives. The diagram below illustrates the City of Stirling’s robust Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework.

As part of the integrated planning process, local governments are required to consult with their communities to develop a long-term vision, examine the demographic, social, environmental and economic trends shaping the future of their area and align their activities and resources to address the community’s aspirations expressed in the vision.
