NSWALC CORPORATE PLAN
The NSWALC Corporate Plan 2008-2012 was adopted by the Council in March 2008.
NSWALC's overarching aim is to work to the key strategies outlined in the Corporate Plan by providing leadership and guidance to the Aboriginal people of New South Wales in the pursuit of sustainable cultural, political social and economic rights.
The Corporate Plan is designed to augment the NSWALC Business Plan.
In the introduction to the Corporate Plan, NSWALC Chairperson Bev Manton notes that the plan is designed to outline the priorities of NSWALC for the period 2008-2012, however she added that priorities would evolve and require periodic adjustment to coincide with those social, political and economic uncertainties that no organisation could fully anticipate.
"The document sets out in plain English what NSWALC is, what we do, and what we seek to achieve," she said.
It was released to coincide with the 25th Anniversary of the Proclamation of Land Rights in New South Wales in June 2008.
The Corporate Plan re-emphasises the fact that the principal client of NSWALC is the network of Local Aboriginal Land Councils which are located across nine regions throughout New South Wales.
It also acknowledges that NSWALC deals with a range of government, non-government and private sector stakeholders in carrying out its functions.
The Corporate Plan also outlines NSWALC's core values.
It also sets out NSWALC's key corporate priorities along with the outcomes we seek to achieve. They are:
- Advocacy and Rights
- Strong Leadership and Governance
- Community Health and Well-Being
- Productive and Meaningful Partnerships
- Land, Cultural Heritage and Environmental Management
- Community Development and Planning
- Innovation, Learning and Continuous Improvement
- Wealth Generation and Commerce
- Commitment and Vision
NSWALC's Corporate Plan sets out it's strategic framework and outlines the critical success factors driving the organisation.
Chairperson Manton noted that "In essence, it is the road map for our organisation."
"It allows us to navigate a path towards creating an inclusive society in which Aboriginal people enjoy sustained cultural, social and economic empowerment."
