PUBLIC EXHIBITION

DRAFT 2023/24 OPERATIONAL PLAN AND BUDGET, INCLUDING DRAFT REVENUE POLICY, DRAFT CAPITAL WORKS PROGRAM, DRAFT FEES AND CHARGES AND DRAFT LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLAN.

Residents are invited to have their say on key documents that guide Camden Council’s planning, operational and leadership decisions over the next financial year.

Council adopted its Community Strategic Plan and 2022-26 Delivery Program in June 2022. The Local Government Act 1993 requires that an Operational Plan is prepared and exhibited each year to outline the projects and actions that will be undertaken to achieve the commitments made in the Delivery Program.

Public exhibition of the following documents will commence on 19 April and conclude on 16 May 2023:

Our Connecting Camden Community Strategic Plan provides a vision that reflects the aspiration of our community which has been informed by research and community engagement undertaken over the past four years. It sets clear directions, objectives, strategies and measurements of performance in making Camden welcoming, liveable, prosperous, balanced and leading.

The Delivery Program (including the Operational Plan) sets out Councils commitment from 2022 to 2026 and references all principal activities and actions to be undertaken during that period.

The Capital Works Program outlines works to be completed annually and over the four year period.

Supporting our Delivery Program, Operational Plan and Budget is the Long-Term Financial Plan which outlines how Council will manage its resources. Whilst our Fees and Charges Schedule itemises all fees and charges facilitated by Council for its range of goods and services offered to the community.
