The procedures manual assembles and updates important planning process matters for the benefit of existing staff, new employees and the Planning Department’s customers. It is a “how to” document, structured to explain various parts of the planning process and to provide necessary supplementary information as appendices.

It is expected that the manual will be constantly updated based on amendments to law, regulations, policies, guidelines, procedures and best practice. Logistically, it is impractical to include every possible matter relating to working in the Planning Department in the document. Therefore, the manual also includes hyperlinks to where excluded but relevant information can be located on the Cayman Islands Government intranet or the Department’s server.

Portions of the Procedures Manual which deal with personnel or human resources issues are restricted to Planning Department users and are not available for public review.
