Reshaping Tipperary’s Future Together
Introduction

What is the Corporate Plan?
The Corporate Plan outlines Tipperary County Council’s vision for the county, detailing key priorities and explaining the benefits these objectives will bring to our communities over the next five years. This Plan provides a comprehensive vision of the future we aspire to create in Tipperary, detailing the collaborative efforts between the Council and stakeholders to achieve this. It also defines the core values guiding our service delivery and engagement with customers and stakeholders. Additionally, the Plan analyses our operational environment, addressing challenges and opportunities, while outlining our capacity to fulfill strategic objectives effectively.
How was the Corporate Plan Prepared?
Tipperary County Council employed a robust consultation process to develop this Corporate Plan. This process emphasised learning from the past five years while strategising for the future. Prepared in compliance with the Local Government Act 2014, the Plan integrates relevant National and European policies, ensuring alignment with central programs and activities crucial to its goals. To draft the Plan, an internal cross-directorate group was established. This team convened multiple times in July and August 2024 to outline the core components, which were then reviewed by the Corporate Policy Group (CPG). These efforts laid the foundation for extensive consultation on the proposed objectives
Engagement and Inclusivity
Council staff, the public, and the Public Participation Network (PPN) were actively engaged through consultations. This included an online pubic survey seeking feedback on:
- The quality of services delivered by the Council
- Challenges and key priorities for the coming five years
The consultation process was designed not only to gather diverse perspectives but also to build consensus, ensure inclusivity, and align strategic goals with stakeholders’ aspirations. This approach underscores our commitment to a collaborative and innovative governance model.
