Foreword
Message from the President
I am proud to present the Shire of Boddington’s first Corporate Business Plan. This Plan identifies our priorities over the next four years and will allow us to ensure all key projects, activities, and services will be resourced to the required level. Our business plan is directly aligned with our Strategic Community Plan, ensuring Council will address all strategic priorities that our community has identified.
John Allert Shire President

In line with legislative requirements, this plan will ensure that strategic priorities are met, adequate funding will be available to achieve our activities, and that all of the Council’s resources will be appropriately maintained and developed. The Shire is made up of a variety of vibrant Communities and this plan will ensure that Council will be in a strong position to provide services that will allow these communities to grow.

Corporate Business Plan 2013/14 – 2016/17
Planning Context 1.
1.1 The Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework
The Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework provides the basis for improving the practice of
strategic and business planning in local government, and in turn, its long term sustainability. It addresses
the requirements to meet the intent of the Local Government Act 1995, and outlines the processes and
activities to develop and integrate the necessary plans.
The core plans in the Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework are the:
Strategic Community Plan – states a long term (10+ years) vision, goals, outcomes and
strategies, which drives the development of other local government informing strategies and
plans.
Corporate Business Plan – a rolling 4 year plan which identifies the services, activities and
projects and their resourcing requirements to deliver on the strategies and outcomes of the
Strategic Community Plan.
Annual Budget - the resources required to deliver the Corporate Business Plan on an annual
basis.
Figure 1: Key Plans in the Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework
Shire of Boddington Page | 5
Corporate Business Plan 2013/14 – 2016/17
1.2 Developing the Corporate Business Plan
The Corporate Business Plan addresses all of the Shire’s operations – including services, assets (capital
works and ongoing operating) and projects. It also identifies how the Shire’s operations link to the
Strategic Community Plan through strategies and outcomes.
The Corporate Business Plan is based on the Shire’s Operational and Service plans, which were developed
by Shire management and key staff. During this process, service related actions and projects are
identified through alignment with the Strategic Community Plan and informing strategies (refer to Figure
2 below).
The following sections of this Plan outline both the strategic and operational contexts for the
development of the Corporate Business Plan, the services and associated outputs for the Shire and the
actions, projects and associated resource requirements over the 4 year period of the Plan.
As this is the initial Corporate Business Plan, the costs associated with the operations and projects that
the Shire will deliver over the period of the Plan are preliminary or indicative.
These figures will be refined once the Long Term Financial Plan, the Asset Management Plan, the
Workforce Plan and the Annual Budget are adopted by Council.

Strategic Context 2.
2.1 Our Vision
Boddington, a vibrant, welcoming and connected community where natural beauty abounds and
economic growth provides opportunities for all.
2.2 Key Drivers
The following key drivers have been identified for the Shire of Boddington:
Mines – employment and population, particularly with a downsizing camp
Health – hospital, aged care, GPs and specialists
Education – lack of Year 11 and 12 resources, closest is Narrogin Senior High School; loss of high
school aged students and families; Boddington District High School has had performance issues
Shopping – very limited; people shopping elsewhere for example at Armadale and Mandurah;
some prices inflated due to mining incomes; competition of online shopping
Tourism – not currently but could be, for example, mining tours; lack of short stay
accommodation including homestays and farmstays; create attractions
Access – no public transport such as buses and trains; better link to Perth could increase the
resident population
Recreation – lack of a centre is currently limiting participation; no colocation; lack of older youth
attractions; sport and recreation; problem with attracting children and youth with the
competition with electronic entertainment; need to attract adults for health and fitness
Housing – more housing would attract more people to the town
Shire of Boddington Page | 7
Corporate Business Plan 2013/14 – 2016/17
2.3 Challenges Facing the Shire
The Shire of Boddington faces a variety of challenges as it develops over the next 10 years. The critical
challenges affecting the Shire have been identified through community engagement and the Strategic
Community planning process. The Corporate Business Plan will need to consider these and includes:
Regional economic growth reliant on the resources industry
Challenges attracting and retaining labour to the area
The availability and affordability of housing and land
High mobility of mining employees impacts on continuity of community services and community
groups
Economic development, with the focus on the development of a more balanced economy with
diversity and choice in employment
Wider range of commercial services available locally to residents
The development of this plan is based on the Shire’s current knowledge. However, there are some critical
uncertainties that the Shire has no control over, which may affect its planning, resourcing and
implementation of key initiatives described in this plan. These include:
Global financial conditions that may affect the resources industry and the Australian economy
Change of State or Federal government policy
Change of resource sector operations
Climatic/weather changes
Natural disasters
2.4 Key Opportunities
The following opportunities have been identified by the Shire during the development of the Corporate
Business Plan and the Strategic Community Plan, and are addressed in the action development area of
this plan.
Continuing to develop the town of Boddington as the population increases
Enhancing tourism through the development and promotion of the region’s unique character,
lifestyle, culture and natural environment
Providing a coordinated land supply for the long-term development of each community
Developing land for commercial and residential needs to diversify existing uses and activities,
which will improve the local economy and quality of life
Providing a greater diversity of housing to meet the differing community needs
Enhancing the integration of drive-in drive-out workers into local communities
Extending the range of locally available employment opportunities.
Improving the quality and range of community facilities

Shire of Boddington Page | 26
Corporate Business Plan 2013/14 – 2016/17
3.4 Asset Management Planning
The Shire has not yet finalised the development of its Asset Management Plans. The Asset
Management Plans will be based on the total lifecycle of assets and assist the Shire in
predicting infrastructure renewal demand; that is the cost of bringing an asset back to new at
the optimum time in its lifecycle.
Asset Management Plans will form part of the Shire’s day-to-day business practices and will be
used to make informed decisions in relation to service delivery when it comes to considering
the need to acquire new assets, renew existing assets, upgrade existing assets or dispose of
existing assets to support service delivery.
Asset Management plans will be prepared in accordance with the recommended format of the
Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia’s (IPWEA) International Infrastructure Manual.
This will include long term (20 year) financial modelling of the renewal profile of each asset
class and will be underpinned by long term financial plans.
In making informed decisions in relation to infrastructure assets, the Shire will consider the
following key principles:
Philosophy of renewing assets before acquiring new assets and, where possible,
rationalising assets that are no longer used or do not provide the necessary level of
service required to sustainably deliver the service for which the asset was acquired
Prior to consideration of any major refurbishment or improvement to an asset, a
critical review of the following shall occur as part of the evaluation process:
o Need for facility (short and long term)
o Legislative requirements
o Opportunities for rationalisation
o Future liability including ultimate retention/disposal
o Opportunities for multiple use
All capital projects will be evaluated in accordance with a Capital Evaluation model and
take into account capital cost, ongoing cost of maintenance, refurbishment,
replacement and operating cost (“whole of life” cost assessment)
Management of assets utilising a team approach supported by the multi discipline
cross-functional asset management working group
Developing and implementing a 10 year “rolling” financial plan that incorporates
infrastructure renewal requirements as identified within the various Asset
Management Plans.
The commitment to involve and consult with the community and key stakeholders
when determining service levels
Shire of Boddington Page | 27
Corporate Business Plan 2013/14 – 2016/17
3.5 Workforce Planning
The Shire’s Workforce Plan addressed several key issues which are of concern to the Shire:
Lack of skilled local labour
Competition with mining industry for labour force
Lack of adequate staff and community housing
Mitigating actions to the above key issues have been factored into the Corporate Business Plan
to ensure that the Shire has an action plan to resolve these issues and be well placed with a
strong workforce in the future. An example is 5.2.2.5 Implement the outcomes of the Shire's
Workforce Plan, which includes engaging a project officer.
While the current workforce gap is relatively small, the Shire will need to increase its
workforce over time to provide the currently planned services.
3.6 Long Term Financial Planning
The Shire has developed a Long Term Financial Plan. This document will help inform an
updated Corporate Business Plan through:
Long Term Financial Plan activities being incorporated into the Corporate Business Plan
References to the Shire’s Forward Capital Works Plan in alignment with initiatives
outlined in the Asset Management Plan
The Long Term Financial Plan enables the Shire to set priorities, based on its resourcing
capabilities, for the delivery of short, medium and long term community priorities. Mitigating
actions to key issues outlined in the Long Term Financial Plan will be factored into the
Corporate Business Plan to ensure that the Shire has an action plan to resolve these issues and
ensure financial sustainability is achieved in the future.
Examples of key Capital Works projects outlined in the Corporate Business Plan also
incorporated in the Long Term Financial Plan include:
Construction of a new Shire Administration Centre
Construction of a new Leisure Recreation Centre
Ranford Water Supply Project
Recommendations from the Shire’s Asset Management Plan have been incorporated into the
Long Term Financial Plan through the inclusion of annual upgrade, renewal and operating
expenditures for each of the Shire’s asset classes. This ensures the ongoing sustainability of
the Shire’s asset base is integrated with the financial planning of the organisation.
Shire of Boddington Page | 28
Corporate Business Plan 2013/14 – 2016/17
Global assumptions surrounding the ongoing annual increases in revenue and expenditure
items, for example rates, fees and charges, operating grants, interest rates and employee costs
have all been set by the Shire of Boddington. See the table below for the increase assumptions
applied for revenue and expenditure in 2013/14 and beyond.
OPERATING REVENUES
Rates - Annual Increases
4.0%
Rates - Growth in Rate Base
1.0%
Operating Grants, Subsidies and Contributions 4.0%
Non-operating Grants, Subsidies and Contributions 4.0%
Fees and Charges
4.0%
Interest Earnings
3.0%
Other Revenue
4.0%
OPERATING EXPENSES
Employee Costs
3.5%
Materials and Contracts
3.0%
Utility Charges
6.0%
Interest Rate
6.0%
Insurance Expense
3.5%
Other Expenditure
3.0%
The Long Term Financial Plan suggests the Shire is in a sound operating position with sufficient
operating cash flows to cover its expenditure. The Shire’s strong expected cash position
indicates that it will not be excessively reliant on external operating and capital grant funding
to supplement operational expenditure and capital works projects into the future. For more
information on the findings, refer to the Shire of Boddington Long Term Financial Plan –
Summary Analysis document.

Corporate Business Plan 2013/14 – 2016/17
Actions linked to Strategic Community Plan 4.and Services
The following tables provide details for actions, incorporating projects that the Shire
will undertake over the next 4 years.
All actions in the Corporate Business Plan are linked to the Strategic Community Plan
through the appropriate strategy. They are also linked to the respective service of the
Shire (refer to Section 3.1 for service descriptions and outputs).
Recurring operational activities are designated as ongoing actions which have a
recurring annual budget. Projects have specific start and end dates and if related to
assets are funded through capital expenditure.
Budget has been assigned to actions where it can be clearly identified, is significant
and is directly attributable. Actions are full cost allocated. There are some actions
where this is not the case, for example Action 4.2.3.1 Lobby the Federal Government to
provide an NBN optical fibre cable network to Boddington.
Where the action forms a very small percentage of an officer’s time, which may vary
across and between years and cannot be easily or logically split from other activities
they undertake, it is accounted for in a consolidated operating action. For example,
Action 5.2.5.8 Manage minor internal information technology problems within the
Shire is accounted for under Action 5.2.5.6 Manage the information technology
contract with the Shire of Murray.
For operating actions in years 2, 3 and 4 of the Corporate Business Plan, the costs have
been increased by CPI (consistent with the global assumptions in the Long Term
Financial Plan).
For capital funded project actions, the costs have been derived from the 2012/13
budget, the Forward Capital Works Plan and the budget bids for the 2013/14 budget.

Monitoring and Reporting 6.
The Corporate Business Plan is built on Operational and Service Plans which clearly allocate responsibilities,
timeframes and resources for implementation of prioritised actions and projects.
The implementation of the Corporate Business Plan will be monitored monthly and reported corporately on a
quarterly basis through progress of action and project delivery against targets and year to date expenditure
against budget. In addition, performance will be monitored and reported against operational key
performance indicators which will be progressively developed and implemented across the organisation
during 2013 - 2014.
Because the Corporate Business Plan is integrated with and delivers on the Strategic Community Plan,
monitoring and reporting of outcome performance through the strategic key performance indicators is
important in determining the effectiveness of the Shire’s services and projects.
All elements of the Corporate Business Plan will be reviewed and amended as required each year prior to the
annual budget process. This enables the corresponding year of the Corporate Business Plan and Long Term
Financial Plan to accurately inform the annual budget.
The Corporate Business Plan will also be informed by the periodic review of the Strategic Community Plan, the
Workforce Plan, Asset Management Plans and the other linked plans and strategies of the Shire.
