Gunnedah Shire Council The Draft 2017-2022 Delivery Program and 2021/22 Operational Plan for Gunnedah Shire Council is officially placed on public exhibition and Council will receive submissions in relation to the documents up until 5:00pm Friday 21 May 2021. Due to the postponement of the NSW Local Government Elections in 2020, our four year Delivery Program 2017-2021 has been expanded to five years. The Program establishes a series of actions and programs for the Council to deliver during the current term of office. The Plan articulates Council’s commitment to delivering on its areas of responsibility under the Community Strategic Plan. Supporting the Delivery Program is the annual Operational Plan. The Operational Plan presents a series of annual tasks for Council officers, along with Council’s annual budget, fees and charges, rating structure and revenue policy. The current practice at Gunnedah Shire Council is to combine both the Delivery Program and the Operational Plan into a single document to provide a clear link between the these two strategic instruments.
