This page has information about the Game Animal Council’s planning and reporting documentation. Under legislation, we are required to create a Statement of Performance Expectations (annual plan) and report on our activities each year (annual report).

The GAC’s operational strategy/strategic plan along with other key documentation informs the development of the SPE, workplan and budget. Together, these documents provide priorities and actions for the forthcoming year, setting out how we aim to achieve our vision through our strategic objectives and how we aim to achieve these.
