What is Community Planning?
Community Planning is a process whereby a local authority and other local agencies including community, voluntary, public and private sector organisations come together to develop and implement a shared vision for promoting the well being of the area.

Why is Community Planning important?

  • We are all customers of the public sector, whether we are borrowing a book from the local library, visiting a GP or reporting a crime to the Police.  In the past, the service providers acted mainly on their own when planning and delivering services to the public.

  • Not only does the Community Planning process bring providers together for Moray as a whole, but also to plan for each local area within Moray.

  • By working in partnership, services can be more effective.

  • It's the law!  Community Planning is a legal requirement following the passing of the Local Government in Scotland Act 2003.

  • In 2008 the Partnership drew up a Single Outcome Agreement with the Scottish Government to deliver a series of national and local outcomes.  The agreement will be reviewed and revised annually.
