A Community Strategic Plan is required to be prepared and adopted by each Council in NSW in accordance with the Local Government Act 1993.

The requirement is a 10 plus year Community Strategic Plan, linked by resourcing strategies to outcomes through Council's Delivery Program and Operational Plan.

The Disability Inclusion Act 2014 (DIA 2014) requires all Councils to have a Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP).

The DIAP outlines the actions that Council will take to improve the life of people with disability and make this community more accessible.

The End of Term Report is a document aimed at providing a snapshot of  Upper Hunter Shire Council and its achievements over the four year term of Council. The Report outlines how Council progressed the leadership objectives of the Community Strategic Plan during its 4 year Council term and also examines Council's aspirations for the future of the Upper Hunter Shire.

The Resourcing Strategy underpins Council’s Integrated Planning and Reporting (IP&R) Framework and demonstrates how the Community Strategic Plan (CSP) 2027 will be resourced.  The Resourcing Strategy must include provision for long term financial planning, workforce management planning and asset management planning.  This is identified on the Upper Hunter Shire Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework.
