The new Corporate Plan 2024-29 was approved by the Council on 28 February 2024 and sets out what we want to achieve for Moray – the council’s vision, values and priorities. The Plan identified Council priorities from the Moray 10 Year Local Outcomes Improvement Plan adding in corporate and administrative priorities.Our priorities were also influenced by the public consultation carried out in 2023.

This page also presents other corporate level reporting; Annual Public Performance Reports, Key Performance Indicator Reports, Best Value Reports and Benchmarking Reports comparing our performance against other local authorities.

The Local Government Benchmarking Framework 

The framework represents a bold approach taken by Scotland’s local authorities to comparing performance and outcomes over time.  The framework brings together a wide range of information about how all Scottish councils perform.  The benchmarking will help Scottish councils improve local services for local communities by shifting focus away from processes and meaningless league tables – and onto efficiency, effectiveness and outcomes.  The data benchmarks each local authority’s performance and/or outcome.  All national benchmarking indicators are included within the Council’s Key Indicators (see above) and results relating to the Council and its family groups are extracted and presented in performance reports to the Council’s Service Committees and the scrutiny Committee.

The national LGBF Dashboard allows users to interrogate and compare data across themes, time and all councils and view annual reporting at a national level.  Local reporting presenting Moray's results is provided below -
