The Strategic Planning & Area Coordination Directorate has responsibility for maintaining CFA's ongoing business viability by demonstrating to the Victorian Community, Government and the key Departments of Justice, Treasury and Finance, Premier and Cabinet, CFA’s capacity to competently define and manage its long term strategic direction.
In recognition of the future population growth and its impact on CFA, the CEO has established the CFA Growth Strategy Steering Committee to focus the organisation on issues relating to the effective Statewide co-ordination of CFA’s planning, resourcing, financing and organisational activities. This is a key group in establishing CFA's strategic direction to meet the future demand for its services.
Development of CFA's 2008/2009 Annual Plan has involved work with CFA's key external stakeholders along with the Board and all Departments and Areas.
The overall corporate planning framework focuses on creating “safe, self-sufficient and sustainable communities” which provides CFA with direct linkages into the Government's primary point of policy i.e. the “Growing Victoria Together” policy.
CFA's performance in delivering its services will be measured under the Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Recovery Output model.
CFA's 2007/2008 Annual Plan and Corporate Plan contain details of the Organisation's strategic direction.
