This ensures that the community is updated on the achievement of the projects and services outlined in the Operational Plan. The 2nd Quarter Review was adopted by Council at its meeting 28 February 2011. SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT The following table provides a summary of the key sustainability implications which are addressed in full in this report: QBL Pillar Implications Environment • An assessment using environmental indicators applies to individual
projects and services and therefore an overall assessment is not required.Social • An assessment using social indicators applies to individual projects and
services and therefore an overall assessment is not required. Economic • An assessment using economic indicators applies to individual projects
and services and therefore an overall assessment is not required. • The activities outlined in the Operational Plan are funded in accordance
with Council’s 2010/11 budget. • The detailed financial report on the quarterly progress with Council’s
adopted budget is contained in the Budget Review Statement in this business paper.
Governance • The quarterly review has been prepared following input and assistance from all Divisions of the organisation.
• Community consultation is not specifically required for this report, however, ongoing community consultation is undertaken in order to meet the aims and objectives of the various individual activities.
