1. Draft Annual Business Plan and Budget - 1 year
Each year, Council develops an Annual Business Plan guided by Council's Strategic financial framework which sets strategic directions over medium and long term and converts these into annual actions and outcomes. This shows the outcomes Council expects to achieve in the year and the services, key measures of success and the budget required to deliver these outcomes.

2. Draft Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP) - 10 years

3. Draft Asset Management Plans - 10 years
