Organisational Structure

The Southern Limestone Coast Council's Senior Management Team, consisting of the Chief Executive Officer, Director of Environmental Services, Director Corporate and Community, and Director Works and Infrastructure, formulates policy options, conducts strategic overviews and implements the decisions of Council.

The Management Team has the overall responsibility for the efficient and effective management of the operations and affairs of the Council and includes the execution of works and services, financial and budgetary control, planning, health, human services and statutory requirements.

Council has delegated various powers, duties and functions to the Management Team wherever possible to make administrative decisions on its behalf. This frees Elected Members to concentrate on policy issues.

The Southern Limestone Coast Council has developed a Strategic Management Plan to implement and manage change within Council.  The Plan has a 5 to 10 year time frame with strategic priorities, and will form the basis on which future Council actions and decisions are undertaken. Political, social, economic and technological changes will be directed through the strategic planning process.

Each program has a clearly defined goal with objectives, strategies and actions. Regular progress reports to Council ensure that the plan maintains Council's mission which is: To provide a range of services which meet the physical, social and cultural needs of our community.
