Action & Investment Plans (AIPs)

The action and investment plans (AIPs) provide the ‘how we will get there’ for our strategies.

They identify the best-fit set of actions to deliver on relevant goals within our primary strategies. AIPs normally have a 3 – 10 year view, and can be joint plans or TCC-owned plans. While the AIPs will not be able to be funded all at once, they identify the best roadmaps to deliver on our strategic direction. Council is not the only funder of actions in these plans. AIPs may have a different title such as ‘strategy’ or ‘strategic plan’, but belong in the AIP level of our framework.

The AIPs focus on new actions (not business as usual actions) required to support our direction and achieve our goals.
