Corporate Plan 2024 Survey

Open30 Jul, 2024, 14:30 - 16 Sep, 2024, 23:59

We are making a new Corporate Plan - Have your Say!

The Corporate Plan - what is it?

The Corporate Plan serves as the local authority's framework for action during the lifetime of the current Council, 2024 - 2029.

It sets out a vision for County Kildare, a mission statement for Kildare County Council, the core values that inform the work of the Council, its strategic priorities and how it delivers services.

The Corporate Plan will be used to direct business processes and performance, through Annual Service Delivery Plans and performance measurement and development (PMDS).

What is the Purpose of the Consultation?

The preparation of the Corporate Plan is drafted using an inclusive approach through consultation with internal stakeholders (elected members, staff and various committees) and external stakeholders.

The purpose is to provide all stakeholders with an input into the plan making process, ensure the Plan is relevant to their concerns and to encourage ownership of the Plan.

What happens after the Consultation?

Your feedback will be considered during the drafting of the Corporate Plan. 

A report on the consultation phase summarising the main issues and responses is provided to all elected members.

The elected members then consider the Draft Plan and decide regarding the adoption of the Plan in December 2024.

When the Plan is adopted by the elected members it is then publicised and published on the Council's website and its objectives feed into service plans for the next 5 years.

A copy of the current corporate plan can be found here.

You can also email your views to corporateplan2024@kildarecoco.ie, or you can submit responses by post to: Corporate Services, Áras Chill Dara, Devoy Park Naas, Co Kildare. W91 X77F - please mark any submission "Corporate Plan" for ease of reference.
