Last October Inner West Council published State of the Inner West    The State of the Inner West October 2021 (PDF 7.9MB) outlines progress against the Community Strategic Plan (CSP).   The CSP is reviewed every four years and is supported by a four year delivery program (IP&P) and annual budgets.  Council reporting at https://www.innerwest.nsw.gov.au/about/the-council/corporate-planning-performance-budget/performance-reporting     Councillors will review the feedback from community consultation ( https://yoursay.innerwest.nsw.gov.au/creating-our-inner-west-2036 ) along with financial and other strategic imperatives will be workshopped with councillors. Staff will make recommendations on reshaping the CSP, IP&P and each year's budget, with a view to adoption by 30 June 2022.   Office of Local Government: "The Integrated Planning and Reporting (IP&R) framework changed the way Councils in NSW planned, documented and reported on their plans for the future.
