Annual Business Plan & Annual Budget

The Annual Business Plan is a Council's basic statement of its intended programs and outcomes for the year. It links the Council's longer term planning for its area, as set out in its strategic management plans, with the allocation of resources in its budget. It also establishes the basis for review of the Council's performance over the year included in its annual report.

The adoption of a straight forward and simple format for the annual business plan, addressing the requirements of the legislation, will provide a clear logical structure which enables Councils to focus on the key issues of content during the preparation of their annual business plans.

The Budget has been developed using the Council's overall planning framework. Council's strategic management plan includes a 10 year long term Financial Plan, supported by an Infrastructure and Asset Management Plan. The purpose of these plans is to express, in financial terms, the activities that the Council proposes to undertake in the medium and longer term, to achieve its stated goals and objectives.

Redbanks Environmental Management Plan (EMP)

The District Council of Cleve (DCC) has created and adopted an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the future development of the Redbanks Campground. The EMP aims to improve the site's ecological sustainability and usability. Through structured management, restoration, and development initiatives, the project addresses environmental stresses on the coastal ecosystem while meeting the growing demand for nature-based camping experiences. DCC aims to find a balance between the demands of conservation and recreational activities by working cooperatively with the 'Eyes on Eyre' initiative and engaging with key stakeholders, including the Department for Environment and Water (DEW) and adjacent landholders.

The EMP is centered around promoting sustainable use and administration within the region, strengthening and safeguarding environmental values, upgrading camping infrastructure and visitors access, alongside establishing frameworks for tracking and assessing outcomes. Through this comprehensive plan, the DCC hopes to establish a viable, easily accessible, and environmentally abundant destination that preserves the site's natural values for future generations, while also respecting statutory responsibilities and nurturing a positive rapport with the local community.

Long Term Financial Plan

The purpose of a Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP) is to guide the future direction of Council in a financially sustainable manner.

The LTFP is designed as a 'high-level' summarised document focusing on the future planning of Council's financial operations, particularly in relation to key components such as rate increases, service levels to our community, major infrastructure asset replacement/renewal and loan indebtedness. 

It is driven by Council's Strategic Management Plan which sets out Council's objectives, goals and desired outcomes. It is a guideline for future action in financial terms and encourages Council to think about the future impact decisions made today have on Council's long-term sustainability.

The Local Government Act 1999 ("the Act") requires that Council's must develop and adopt Strategic Management Plans including the LTFP which is a moving document updated on a rolling basis over a ten year term.
