Shoalhaven’s Integrated Strategic Plan (ISP) has been developed to help streamline the Integrated Planning and Reporting (IP&R) suite of documents that forms part of the IP&R framework. This document replaces the previous Community Strategic Plan format.

The Integrated Strategic Plan is divided into several chapters including the Community Strategic Plan (CSP), Delivery Program & Operational Plan (DPOP) and Council's financials.

The IP&R Framework establishes a structure that allows engagement with the Shoalhaven community as well as integrating Council’s financial, assets and workforce resources to best meet the needs of community and Council.

Community engagement through the Community Engagement Strategy provides a comprehensive structure for gaining community feedback on the needs and wants for the Shoalhaven. Through community consultation a 10-year Community Strategic Plan (CSP) was developed and published. The CSP sets out the community’s long term vision for Shoalhaven.

Council’s four-year Delivery Program and one year Operational Plan addresses Council’s commitment to achieving its part in the CSP. Council’s Resourcing Strategy details the resources available to Council to deliver the Delivery Program Goals and Operational Plan Actions. Reporting on the progress of achieving Priorities, Goals and Actions closes the loop and provides Council and community with important information for the next iteration of the IP&R cycle.

The Mayor and Councillor’s End of Term Report

Council will monitor its progress towards achieving the objectives of the Community Strategic Plan using two sets of measures:

• "Community Progress Indicators" measuring progress towards achieving the Themes of the Community Strategic Plan,
• "Annual Strategic Indicators" measuring results and progress towards achieving the Priorities of the Community Strategic Plan

"Operational Performance Measures" will measure trends and progress on Activities in the Delivery Program and Operational Plan, and be reported to Council on a bi-annual basis.

Council's Delivery Program uses indicators and action completion to measure progress on Goals. The status of each Goal identified in the Delivery Program is shown as either completed, on target or off target. Comments are provided for all Goals.
