Corporate planning and reporting

Effective planning and reporting helps us implement actions in line with agreed long-term objectives for the community.

Our plans focus on questions such as:

• Where are we now?
• Where do we want to be in ten years?
• How will we get there?
• How will we know we’ve arrived?

The Bayside Council Community Strategic Plan is our plan for Bayside in 2032 and will guide us as we meet the challenges and opportunities that will affect the community in the future.

The Community Strategic Plan outlines over 10 years of strategic planning, supported by a long-term resourcing strategy and financial plan, workforce management plan, and asset management plan. These plans and strategies ensure we have an effective and cohesive way forward.
