Approximately 69% of the total 50 initiatives in the 2006/2007 Council Plan have been completed. The balance of initiatives are due to be completed in 2007/2008.
An initiative is a specific task that the organisation wants to focus on to improve service delivery or contribute to achieving the Council Plan objectives.

3. 2006/2007 Key Strategic Activities
The 2006/2007 Key Strategic Activities or Top Five issues for the organisation in 2006/2007 had set performance measures and targets.
The achievement of these targets was audited and will be reported in the 2006/2007 Annual Report as the Performance Statement.
Traditionally the council sets itself challenging targets rather than easy performance targets in order to drive performance.
While this often results in an apparently poorer level of performance than desired, it needs to be kept in mind that the bar was set very high and the results need to be viewed from the perspective of what has actually been achieved which is considered to be impressive and covered in the commentary in the Statement.
The 2006/2007 Annual Report contains the above information and provides details on the council's achievement.
Year 3 of the 2005 -2009 Council plan is available here - Year 3 of the 2005 -2009 Council Plan.
