Decision Maker: Cabinet

Outcome: Recommendations Approved

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Purpose: The Corporate Performance Report is a key tool in scrutinising the Council's overall performance against the priorities set out in the Corporate Plan.

Content: The Cabinet considered a report of the Executive Director (Strategy and Change) presenting the key performance indicators which aligned to the corporate priorities set out in the Corporate Plan 2024-2028 for quarter 1 2025/26 (Apil to June 2025).   Reason(s) for decision:   The Corporate Performance Report informs decision making to ensure that the council’s priorities are on track to be achieved and aligns with the Financial Performance Report to ensure that they are delivered within the approved budget provision.   Improving efficiency and productivity is essential but the scale of the unprecedented financial pressures will inevitably lead to a reduction in the range, quality, cost and responsiveness of other discretionary council services, as well as challenging our approach to statutory services.   Resolved:   That the Corporate Performance Report as at 30 June 2025 set out in Appendix 1, be noted.   This decision is not eligible for call-in.

Date of Decision: September 15, 2025
