If you're feeling like your role in Council, and the work of your team, is somewhat detached, unappreciated and just not recognised as the professionals you are,especially in terms of the rest of the departments in Council, then this session is for you!

Developing a service plan that is based on sound planning principles and uses evidence-based research can increase service credibility AND resourcing opportunities. 

Our presenter recognises this can seem intimidating and of little perceived benefit, especially if a service has had to focus on ‘getting through the day to day’ or have not previously been required to prepare a service plan.

Lesley will talk to the strategies and benefits of leveraging the profile of your service within your organisation and how your next Domestic Animal Management Plan can help you achieve this, especially via:

Internal planning and policy engagement

  • Community consultation 
  • The inclusion of discussion that highlights service considerations that demonstrate the team’s understanding of the broader issues relating to the service e.g. town planning – more people more pets; socio-economic impacts on the service;
  • Identifying other service areas with a role to play in implementing a service plan such as a Domestic Animal Management Plan or Companion Animal Management Plan

She will also talk about how you ensure that your service is engaged in wider organisation service planning, and your experience and the potential impact on your service understood. This will ensure that your service capacity to implement any recommendations that might come out of another service strategy are understood and or you are adequately resourced to implement.

This event will be recorded and the recording will be available the day after the event.

Presenter: Lesley Humphreys - Director, LMH Consulting Group

Lesley Humphreys has been preparing strategic and operational service plans and policy for over 20 years, and across a diverse range of local government portfolios. This includes the planning of animal management services and policy relating to dogs in public spaces. She has presented at state, national and international conferences on the latter topic. 

Lesley has experienced first-hand the service credibility and resourcing benefits that can eventuate from having a service plan that is based on sound planning principles and uses evidence-based research.
