Integrated Planning is the cornerstone of effective local government management, ensuring that resources, policies, and projects are strategically aligned to meet the long-term needs of the community.  Mandated under the Local Government Act the Integrated Planning Framework enables local governments to make informed decisions, optimise resource allocation, and achieve sustainable outcomes. This holistic approach empowers councils to anticipate future challenges, drive community-focused initiatives, and enhance transparency, ultimately creating a more responsive, accountable, and resilient local government. With Integrated Planning, local governments can build a stronger future for their communities.
