Resourcing Strategy

The Long Term Financial Plan is a 10-year rolling plan that informs decision-making. It demonstrates how the objectives of the Community Strategic Plan and commitments of the Delivery Program and Operational Plan will be resourced and funded.

The Long Term Financial Plan captures financial implications of asset management and workforce planning.

The objective of asset management planning is to provide the required level of service for the community in accordance with the Community Strategic Plan and in the most cost-effective manner.

Assets may include:

• roads, bridges and footpaths
• water, sewerage systems and drainage
• buildings and recreational facilities,
• parks and gardens.

Asset Management Planning has 3 parts:

1. Asset Management Policy

   Council’s Asset Management Policy was recently reviewed and updated in 2021.

2. Asset Management Strategy

   Council has a Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP) for 2025/26 to 2034/35.  Whilst this version remains current, a digital version of the SAMP has been progressed utilising interactive software to enable the data to be linked and live to the most updated information.

3. Asset Management Plans for each class of asset

We have prepared Asset Management Plans for Transport, Buildings, and Open Space infrastructure.

These documents, dashboard posters, community levels of service consultation reports, and an introduction video on how council manages its assets are available on the asset management webpage.

The Workforce Management Strategy is a 4-year document that shapes the capacity and capability of the workforce to achieve council’s strategic goals and objectives.

It identifies how future staffing and skills requirements will be met, such as through:

• recruitment
• staff progression and development
• internal redeployment
• succession planning.
