Delivery Program / Operational Plan

In accordance with statutory Integrated Planning and Reporting requirements, Council has a fixed-term Delivery Program. It is a ‘statement of commitment’ to the community from each newly elected council.

Delivery Program 2018/19-2020/21

This plan outlines what Council intends to do from 2018/19 to 2020/21 towards achieving the desired outcomes of the North Sydney Community Strategic Plan 2018-2028. The plan includes financial estimates in accordance with Scenario 3 of the Long Term Financial Plan, a component of Council's Resourcing Strategy 2018-2028.

The plan came into effect from 1 July 2018.
