This involves bringing together all the services and functions that are delivered in a council area and producing a plan that sets out the future direction of that area. The purpose is to improve service delivery for the benefit of citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Northern Ireland\u2019s 11 new councils will lead the process and whilst a wide number of businesses, voluntary organisations, community and other groups will all make vital contributions to community planning, it is beneficial that a number of key public sector organisations are required to participate.<\/p>\n<p>Minister Durkan said: \u2018Community Planning will help us work together to improve the social, economic and environmental well being of our council areas. It\u2019s all about partnership working and best using the available resources to make a positive difference to people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Councils in Scotland, England and Wales have been successfully operating community planning for the last 10 to 15 years. This is now an exciting opportunity for Northern Ireland; one that will give councils, agencies and the wider community a chance to collaborate and be more flexible to the particular needs of their area.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u2018This consultation will ensure that we have the right organisations around the table so that community planning can start in earnest next April.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The consultation will close on 12 December 2014.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.doeni.gov.uk\/local_government_consultations\" target=\"_blank\">DoENI consultations<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.northernireland.gov.uk\/index\/media-centre\/news-departments\/news-doe\/news-doe-201014-consultation-launched-on.htm\" target=\"_blank\">NI Gov article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department for the Environment Northern Ireland (DoENI ) has launched a consultation on proposals for mechanisms of community planning delivery with a deadline for responses of 12 December.\u00a0 The DoENI writes: Under local government reform, councils will have a &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/?p=8791\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8791","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8791"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8791\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8793,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8791\/revisions\/8793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8791"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8791"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
