ABOUT THE CITY OF STIRLING

Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework

In accordance with Western Australian State Government legislation, local governments are required to establish an Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework. This framework mandates the creation of a ‘Plan for the Future’, which includes a 10-year Strategic Community Plan, a four-year Corporate Business Plan, and supporting strategies and resource plans.

As part of the integrated planning process, local governments are required to engage with their communities to shape a long-term vision. This involves analysing key demographic, social, environmental, and economic trends that influence the future of the area and aligning strategic actions and resources to reflect the community’s aspirations. Under the Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework, local governments must also evaluate,

monitor, and report on their performance annually. These processes support ongoing improvement in service delivery and ensure that progress is being made toward achieving the community’s goals and long-term vision. The diagram below presents the City of Stirling’s approach to Integrated Planning and Reporting.
