ECD.140729.20b

That the Commercial Projects Manager be recommended to give priority to carry out a commissioning exercise for the planning and planning enforcement services.

 

Rejected

The inclusion of ‘Commissioning’ in the draft Commercialisation Strategy is for two reasons:

 

-To ensure that a unit or service is delivering outcomes that are required by statute and that Council wish those organisations to deliver; and to ensure that services and outputs in support of those outcomes are being delivered at the standard Council requires.

-To analyse commercial options in response to the definition of those outcomes as part of the STOP, MAKE, BUY, DIVEST decision process.

 

Planning services are a statutory service and are being delivered in a model which Council already approves. The recommendation is therefore rejected. The committee’s concerns about the standards of delivery are noted and are referred to the Planning, Transport and Development OSC.
