Annual Business Plan

Annual Business Plan

Each year, we develop an Annual Business plan that enables us to translate strategic directions into actions that result in improved service delivery and enhanced programs.

The Plan helps us ensure we are providing the best public and environmental health services to our constituent councils and ratepayers.

The annual business plan outlines:

• objectives for the financial year
• what we will do to meet those objectives
• how we will measure financial and non-financial performance
• operating and capital expenditure and revenue sources
• how we determine council contributions
