1 Note the Corporate Policy Portfolio Report to 31 December 2016; 2 Approve the reclassification of the following Council Policies to Administrative

Policies: a Accounts Receivable Credit Policy b Business Continuity and Internal Incident Management Policy c Corporate Security Policy d Internal Audit Policy.

5 DISCUSSION Policies clarify Council’s position on an issue. All new Council policies and major policy changes require a Council resolution. Policies are generally reviewed every two years to ensure continued alignment with Council objectives and legislative requirements and to minimise the risk of conveying out of date policy information to staff and the community. Minor changes that do not affect the intent or purpose of the policy may be approved by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or Chief Operating Officer (COO) under delegated power. The Corporate Policy Officer has delegated authority to correct minor spelling, grammatical or formatting errors. The policy portfolio currently consists of 77 Council policies that relate to matters of public interest and external service delivery and 55 Administrative policies that relate to internal operations. This report provides a summary of the status of all Council Policies at 30 June 2017.

5.1 Policy activity

During the period 1 January to 30 June 2017:

1 new Council policy was adopted – Banner Booking System Policy. 

19 existing Council policies were amended (see Attachment A). 9 of these policies were amended by Council resolution. The remainder of the amendments were approved by the CEO, COO or the Corporate Policy Officer as the changes were minor and did not affect the intent of the policy. 

No existing policies were retired.

742nd Council Meeting 5 September 2017 18 Governance & Administration Committee Meeting 29 August 2017 Adopted Report ITEM 3 (Continued) CORPORATE POLICY PORTFOLIO REPORT – 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2017 LG449/756/02/01(P1) At 30 June 2017, 81% (62) of all Council policies were current, representing a 6% increase since 31 December 2016. 11% (9) were under review (refer Attachment B) and 8% (6) were overdue for review, which is a 1% increase since 31 December 2016. Figure 1: Percentage of Council Policies that are current, under review or overdue for review

Note: The policy review target is to have least 70% of policies up to date (current) at any time.

For further details about the review status of each policy, please refer to Attachment C. The number of Council Policies has been steadily reducing over recent years, with a 31% reduction since 2012 (from 113 at 30 June 2012 to 77 at 30 June 2017). The reduction has been due to some policies being amalgamated with other policies and some other policies being retired. 6 ALIGNMENT TO THE CORPORATE PLAN, CORPORATE STRATEGIES AND

OPERATIONAL PLAN
