This year’s report is the first under the state government’s new Integrated Planning and Reporting system and shows the council’s progress for each task or project through a traffic light system - red meaning the timeframe has slipped, amber meaning the timeframe has been compromised and green meaning the project has been completed.
With more than 110 green lights, about 19 red lights and only four amber lights, general manager Garry Styles was pleased with the result.
“I like the ratio of many more green lights than red lights. We’re not perfect, but it’s a nice simple way of showing how things are travelling,” he said.
