The City’s Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework (IPRF) guides our planning processes to ensure clear alignment to, and delivery on the aspirations and priorities identified by our community.

The City's planning framework helps ensure community priorities, strategic objectives and financial decisions are connected. Through consultation with residents, Council and City administration, a range of plans, budgets and reports are developed to guide service delivery and long-term planning.

These documents work together to support sustainable growth, responsible financial management and the delivery of services that meet the needs of our community.

The City's planning processes are guided by Western Australia's Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework, which helps local governments align community aspirations, strategic planning, resourcing and financial sustainability.

The diagram below illustrates how the Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework aligns community aspirations with council priorities.

Council Plan

The Council Plan is the City’s key strategic document and is a combination of the legislated ten-year plan, also known as the City’s ‘Plan for the Future’ and the legislated four-year corporate business plan.

The Council Plan (Part A) represents the community’s long-term vision, goals and priorities, and undergoes a major review every four years incorporating community and stakeholder consultation and engagement. 

The Council Plan (Part B) defines four years of priorities, services, projects and programs that the City will implement in order to realise the strategic goals and is reviewed annually as part of the budget process.

It guides the application of best practice asset management principles across the full asset lifecycle, ensuring assets are fit for purpose, deliver value for money, and align with the City’s strategic objectives, while balancing growth, service demands, financial sustainability and the ongoing maintenance and optimisation of existing assets.
