The Framework
Integrated Planning and Reporting (IP&R) gives Councils a framework for establishing local priorities and linking this information to operational functions. It recognises that most communities have similar aspirations, but the response to those aspirations will involve an individual approach.
Under the IP&R Framework, all NSW Councils are required to develop and report on a set of plans and strategies in accordance with the Local Government Act 1993 and the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005.
The Framework includes a reporting process to communicate the progress to the Council and the community. There is also a structured timeline for the review of all documents to ensure they remain relevant to the community, Council and operations.
