City of Winnipeg strategic plans originate differently.
### Council direction
Many of the strategic plans currently in place are undertaken at the direction of Council. Examples include the **Pedestrian & Cycling Strategies and Action Plan** and the **Climate Action Plan**.
### Legal requirement
Some strategic plans are a legal requirement the Province of Manitoba has of the City of Winnipeg. An example of this is **OurWinnipeg 2045**.
### Provincial regulation
Other strategic plans are required under provincial regulations. The **Biosolids Master Plan** as well as the **Combined Sewer Overflow Master Plan** are examples.
### Governance requirement
The **Winnipeg Police Service Strategic Plan 2020-2045** is governed and overseen by the Winnipeg Police Board.
##
Strategic plans in the city serve different, but equally important purposes. Generally, strategic plans are used to:
* Set policy & direction
* Prioritize & align resource allocation
* Educate & inform
### Set policy & direction
Strategic plans help support policy development and set direction for a department or the City. The **Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service Master Plan**, for example, outlines key directions and policies necessary to meet service requirements today and into the future.
### Prioritize & align resource allocation
Resource allocation and prioritization are undertaken through the City of Winnipeg budget process. The **Multi-year budget 2024-2027** represents the City's four-year plan for revenue, expenditures, and capital investment. The budget reflects and represents Council's priorities, and its revenue and expenditure policies. It outlines how financial resources such as property tax, business tax, and government grants will be allocated.
### Educate & inform
Departmental strategic plans (**Corporate Finance Strategic Plan**) as well as issue-specific strategic plans (**Poverty Reduction Strategy**) educate and inform residents and city employees about a department's goals, objectives, priorities, regulatory environment, risks, and operating environment.
It is through a greater understanding of a service or issue that better decisions can be made.
