Management Plans were prepared by Council prior to 2010-2011. To see the latest Council plans for 2010 and onwards click HERE.

While this Management Plan focuses in particular on the financial year 2009-2010, it has been developed with a four to ten year strategic outlook. State Government reforms for local government are currently driving a four to ten year strategic framework, particularly relative to integrated strategic planning and reporting, asset management and financial planning. The 2009-2010 Management Plan therefore positions the Council well to respond to these reforms.

The 2009-2010 Management Plan has been developed to meet:

• The requirements for the development of Management Plans as set out in the Local Government Act.
• The Council’s resolution (Minute No 284 of 15 July 2003) to respond to the community endorsed City Vision / Map for Action 2000-2025 – Towards A More Sustainable Blue Mountains – as the external policy framework for the City guiding decisions and actions of the community, Council and external agencies.

The Management Plan responds to:

• The City Vision and Map for Action 2000-2025 priorities;
• Priorities identified by the community as outlined in the Community Survey 2007; and
• Priorities identified by the Councillors as articulated at the 6-8 February Councillor Strategic Workshop in response to the City Vision and with particular emphasis on:
  • Having a strong Local Environmental Plan in place / managing impacts on the environment and town and village character;
  • Council leadership on use of renewable energy;
  • Addressing the Council’s financial sustainability;
  • Enhanced sporting facilities;
  • Improved libraries services;
  • Increased focus on economic development;
  • Better transport;
  • Continued development of cycle / pedestrian infrastructure (bike plan);
  • Tourism development;
  • Asset maintenance and renewal;
  • Productive and efficient relationships between Councillors and staff;
  • Maintaining existing service levels;
  • Provision of new facilities;
  • Managing and addressing graffiti; and
  • Enhanced community consultation.

The Management Plan highlights the importance of the Council continuing its focus on improving financial sustainability and asset management so that it is in a sustainable position to support social, environmental and economic development initiatives for the City.

At the Council Meeting of the 16 June 2009, the Council adopted the 2009-2010 Management Plan and Financial Supplement including 2009-2010 Budget, Fees and Charges and the Capital Works Program.
