The Local Government Act 1993 requires councils in NSW
to prepare management plans and annual reports. The management plan
covers Council’s principal business activities and services such as
water supply, sewerage, urban drainage, roads, domestic waste, open
space, and community facilities. Strategic business plans address a
single business activity and provide a detailed plan to support overall
management plan objectives.
The strategic business plan addresses the development
and operation of Bega Valley Shire Council’s water supply and sewerage
businesses. Strategic business plans are a valuable management tool for
councils and they communicate scheme information to stakeholders and
demonstrate that the schemes are well managed. In broad terms our
business plan includes information on the following topics:
-
Levels of customer service
-
Financial plans and associated price paths
-
Asset management
-
Human resources
-
Environment
-
Principle management issues
-
Regulatory framework
