Policy overview
The Draft Risk Management Policy outlines Council’s commitment to implementing organisation-wide risk management principles, systems and processes that support the consistent, efficient, and effective assessment of risk in Council’s planning, decision-making and operational processes.
The Draft Policy applies to all Council officials and helps support a positive risk management culture, where risk management is integrated into daily activities and is an integral part of governance and good management practice.
Council’s updated Draft Risk Management Policy has been drafted based on a combination of the Example Policy provided by the Office of Local Government and Council’s existing Policy which is considered best practice.
