Our organisation

Having the right people in place

The Workforce Plan considers the people, skills and organisational capability required for the Shire to deliver its services, projects and strategic priorities.

It supports longer-term workforce decision-making by considering current and future staffing needs, capability, succession, recruitment and the changing requirements of the organisation.

Who do we need to deliver it?

Council's plans ultimately depend on people to deliver them. Services, projects, community programs, infrastructure and governance all require the right mix of skills and organisational resources.

Workforce planning helps identify where capability may need to be strengthened and allows the Shire to consider its staffing requirements alongside financial and operational planning.

Supporting reliable service delivery

A small local government can be particularly affected by changes in staffing and the availability of specialist skills. Workforce planning helps the Shire identify these risks before they affect service delivery.

It also helps ensure workforce decisions are made in the context of the Shire's strategic priorities, financial capacity and future organisational needs.
