    The Integrated Business Plan sets out the Council’s proposed program of services, functions and projects for 2015-16. It has been developed in the context of delivering Council’s long term strategic direction as set out in the Strategic Management Plan documents.

    These documents are required by the Local Government Act 1999 and include:

    Adelaide: One City, Many Places, The City of Adelaide Strategic Plan 2012-2016
    Infrastructure and Asset Management Plans
    Corporation Plan 2012-2016

    These plans outline the Council's objectives over a four year period. They show how Council intends to achieve its vision by seeking to balance the Council’s responsibility to provide quality and value in local government services for ratepayers with its wider responsibilities under the City of Adelaide Act 1998 in managing the city and the Park Lands on behalf of all those who visit, work or study in the city.
