This Workforce Strategy sets the direction for a range of initiatives and projects to address the workforce challenges facing local government in New South Wales (NSW) over the next four years. The Workforce Strategy adopts the eight strategic themes of the National Workforce Strategy 2013-2020 [available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 113.494] and identifies a series of actions to be undertaken by peak bodies and government and industry partners in response to the key workforce development issues affecting councils in NSW. These actions build upon the considerable resources (tools, professional development, research, specialist networks, etc.) currently available to the sector through local government industry associations, government agencies, universities, training providers and other commercial sources. The actions listed in the Workforce Strategy have been developed in response to perceived gaps in existing resources, lack of awareness or understanding of the application of these resources and the identification of opportunities to develop new resources or initiatives to support workforce development in the sector. The Workforce Strategy integrates the elements of workforce planning, human resource management and workforce capability development to provide a framework for building a workforce that meets current and future service demands.
