Draft Delivery Program 2022-2026, Operational Plan & Budget 2023/24 (including Draft Fees & Charges 2023/24), and Long-Term Financial Plan

Council's Integrated Planning and Reporting framework (IP&R) creates a roadmap and clear vision to deliver on the community priorities and aspirations detailed in the Community Strategic Plan - Bayside 2032. These key documents guide the Council's operations through long, medium, and short-term plans and actions.

Annual review of key strategic documents

Each year Council is required to review its four-year Delivery Program, develop an annual Operational Plan & Budget (including Fees & Charges) and review the Long-Term Financial Plan.

2022-23 was a successful year that saw Council deliver on a range of commitments contained in the program. This year, Council is focused on building on this momentum by continuing to deliver on the community's vision through the following documents:
