Under Clause 24 of Schedule 2, the Business Plan continues in force for the period specified in the plan or until a new Plan is adopted. It must be reviewed annually. This draft is a result of a review undertaken by the Executive Officer.  \nThe Association is a separate legal entity that operates in accordance with a Charter agreed by all 11 Constituent Councils. Our purpose is set out in clause 3 of the Charter and can be summarised as:  \n1. Working with the South Australian Local Government Association (SA LGA) to achieve its objectives.  \n2. Acting as a forum for the Eyre Peninsula Councils to consider matters of common interest.  \n3. A structure for the Eyre Peninsula Councils to work together.  \n4. Working with other levels of government for the benefit of the Region.  \n5. Seeking to ensure the wellbeing of the Region and making best use of the Region’s resources.  \nThis EPLGA Business Plan has been developed by the EPLGA Board to guide its activities and priority actions for 2025-26. The structure of the Business Plan builds from PURPOSE to consideration of KEY INFLUENCES on the Association’s activities, the STRATEGIC PLAN to be followed, to our OBJECTIVES grouped under three THEMES which will be achieved through progressing our 12 PRIORITY ACTIONS. This draft Business Plan reflects the Strategic Plan.  \nThe EPLGA Purpose is to:  \n• Provide a forum for Constituent Councils to consider and respond to matters of common interest (including through advocacy)  \n• Provide a structure for Constituent Councils to work together to:  \n• develop and/or contribute to the development, updating, and implementation of Regional Plans that address key regional issues; and  \n• assist operational efficiency and effectiveness.  \n• Build and maintain positive relationships with the other levels of government to ensure:  \no our regional views are heard; and  \no our communities have fit for purpose infrastructure and access to services they require; and  \no the ongoing health of our local and regional economies; and  \no we can access ‘region only’ programs.  \nPeter Scott Executive Officer June 2025  \nPREAMBLE – Annual Business Plan.  \nWhen determining matters to address, the EPLGA Board will apply the following 6-point test:  \n1. What benefits can be achieved by EPLGA addressing this matter rather than Councils individually? Are there disadvantages?  \n2. How well does taking on this matter align with our current Purpose?  \n3. What type and level of responsibility does LG have for the matter?  \n4. What role/s might a member Council and/or the EPLGA have in relation to the matter?  \n5. What do we know/not know about the matter? What does success look like? How likely is that to be achieved? Consider a (low cost) scoping paper if we need to know more before committing.  \n6. What are the implications of deciding to address the matter or not?  \nWaste Management  \nThe EPLGA will continue to work with Councils on waste management. Recent years have seen significant changes in the waste and resources industry and as part of that, the local government sector is transitioning from an essential service provider to managing the challenges and opportunities of developing sustainable communities towards a circular economy. Circular Economy in South Australia is driven by Green Industries SA (GISA) and is embedded in the South Australian Waste Strategy 2020 – 2025.  \nCircular Economy is about using less natural and raw products, keeping products in use longer and designing out waste and pollution.  \nEPLGA Project Objectives and Timelines  \n1.1 Audit of waste contracts and waste management.  \n1.2 Identity opportunities for industry cooperation in organic circular economy.  \n1.3 Identify opportunities for Councils work together.  \n1.4 Identify pathways for compliance wit","cbCaifgFdLQ71o0z","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifgFdLQ71o0z","pdf",955891,"English","# Introduction\n## Purpose and governance\n## Annual planning approach (six-point test)\n# Waste Management\n## Circular economy context\n## Project objectives and timelines\n# Eyre Peninsula Regional Transport Plan\n## Update for 2026","[{\"question\":\"What legal and governance basis supports the EPLGA annual business planning requirement?\",\"answer\":\"The association is required to have a business plan and budget each financial year under the Local Government Act 1999, with the business plan continuing in force until a new plan is adopted and reviewed annually.
