Guidelines were developed in 2009 by the NSW Government to help improve the way Local Government plans for the future. All Councils in NSW are now required to plan and report in line with the Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework (IP&R). The overarching document is the Community Strategic Plan, which is to be reviewed and adopted within 9 months of the election of Council. The Community Strategic Plan, whilst reflecting the aspirations of the whole of the community, ultimately sets the priorities for Council projects and programs, which in turn provides direction for Council's long term financial planning and annual budgets.
The Bathurst Regional Community Strategic Plan, Our Region Our Future, is the community’s plan for the future of our Region. It captures the ideas, priorities, and aspirations of our community. The Plan is now on exhibition until the 28th of April.
