About Community Planning
What is Community Planning?
For Services that fit together
Community Planning is a process whereby a local authority and other local agencies including community, voluntary, public and private sector organisations come together to develop and implement a shared vision for promoting the well being of their area.
Why is Community Planning important?
 | We are all customers of the public sector, whether we are borrowing a book from the local library, visiting a GP or reporting a crime to the Police. In the past, the service providers acted mainly on their own when planning and delivering services for the public. |
 | Not only does the community planning process bring providers together for Moray as a whole, but also to plan for each local area within Moray. |
 | By working in partnership, services can be more effective. |
 | It's the law! Community planning is a legal requirement following the passing of the
Local Government in Scotland Act 2003. This is an important piece of legislation, as it places a duty on key public sector agencies to get round the table and implement community planning in Moray. |
What is the Moray Community Plan?

The first stage of an Action Plan identifying outputs and milestones against each of the objectives within the Community Plan has been completed and will be updated quarterly.
The first Community Plan was launched in March 2001. A
