Delivery Program and Operational Plan

The Integrated Planning & Reporting Framework requires Council to develop a Delivery Program for the duration of the elected Council's term and a separate annual Operational Plan.

The Delivery Program is a statement of commitment to the community from each newly elected Council. In preparing the Delivery Program, the council is accounting for its stewardship of the community's long-term goals (as defined in the Community Strategic Plan(PDF, 6MB) ), outlining what it intends to do towards achieving these goals during its term of office and what its Priorities will be. The Delivery Program is designed as a single point of reference for all principal activities undertaken by the Council during its term of office. All plans, projects, activities and funding allocations must be directly linked to the Delivery Program.

Supporting the Delivery Program are annual Operational Plans. These spell out the individual projects and actions that will be undertaken in that financial year to achieve the commitments made in the Delivery Program. The Operational Plan also contains Council's Annual Budget, Capital Works Program, Rating Structure and the adopted Fees and Charges for the year.

The progress of both Plans is reported to Council and published on Council's website.

We have developed a Delivery Program 2025/26-2028/29(PDF, 11MB) , to support the aims of our Community Strategic Plan (CSP), Woollahra 2035(PDF, 6MB) .

Our community were invited to share their feedback on the draft Delivery Program 2025/26-2028/29 throughout the exhibition period, running from 30 April - 28 May 2025. After public exhibition, Council staff and Council's Strategic & Corporate Committee reviewed all feedback and submissions at a meeting held on 16 June 2025. The Delivery Program 2025/26-2028/29(PDF, 11MB) was adopted by Council on 23 June 2025.

Council's progress toward the measures and intended outcomes of the Delivery Program are reported biannually and published on Council's website.

Operational Plan 2025/26

We have developed an Operational Plan 2025/26(PDF, 15MB) to support the aims of our Community Strategic Plan (CSP) Woollahra 2035(PDF, 6MB) and the Delivery Program 2025/26-202/26(PDF, 11MB) . An Operational Plan is prepared each year, and identifies the projects, programs and activities that Council will undertake in the following year. The Operational Plan includes a budget and is accompanied by a Schedule of Fees and Charges and Rating Structure for the year.

Council's draft Operational Plan 2025/26 was placed on formal public exhibition from 30 April - 28 May 2025. Members of the community were invited to make public submissions expressing their views on the draft plan during the public exhibition period. After public exhibition, Council staff and Council's Strategic and Corporate Committee reviewed all feedback and submissions at a meeting held on 16 June 2025. The Operational Plan 2025/26(PDF, 15MB) was adopted by Council on 23 June 2025, commencing 1 July 2025.
