GCRO 3-year Strategic Plan 2011-2014
This three year strategic plan covers the period from 2011/12 to 2013/14. Building on initial work such as the OECD Territorial Review of the GCR, the first Quality of Life Survey in 2009, the launch of an interactive GIS website, and significant government support such as on the Green Strategic Programme, this plan envisages substantial growth in the organisation over the three year period.

GCRO Strategic Plan 2010-2011
The Gauteng City-Region Observatory (GCRO) has been operational since December 2008, when an Executive Director was appointed; by May 2009, most of the current staff (research, technical and administrative) were in place, and a Research Director was appointed in July 2009. The Board approved a Strategic Plan for the final third of 2008/09 (December 2008 to March 2009) and a full Strategic Plan for the 2009/2010 year (April 2009 to March 2010).
This Strategic Plan covers the period April 2010 to March 2011. At that stage, GCRO will have completed the first three-year funding and operational cycle, and the next three-year cycle will be ushered in with a more detailed, longer-term Strategic Plan. At that stage, both the Board of the GCRO and the Research Advisory Committee (RAC) will make inputs regarding a research agenda for the Gauteng City-Region (GCR) generally, and more specifically for the GCRO.

GCRO Strategic Plan 2008-2009
The Gauteng City-Region Observatory (GCRO) has been launched and is now operational. This strategic plan covers the final third of 2008/09 (December 2008 to March 2009), and explains briefly the workload of the GCRO in that time, as well as how the budgeted funds will be spent. (Given the short time period and emphasis on building the institution, this is perhaps more a Business Plan than a Strategic Plan.)
