Consell Comarcal Pla de lEstany

What Consell Comarcal Pla de lEstany does

Consell Comarcal del Pla de l'Estany is a county council (consell comarcal) and public administrative institution under the Catalan government structure, headquartered at Can Puig de la Bellacasa, C/ Catalunya 48, Banyoles, in the comarca of Pla de l'Estany, Girona, Spain. The entity provides coordinated inter-municipal public services to the residents of 11 constituent municipalities (Banyoles, Camós, Cornellà del Terri, Crespià, Esponellà, Fontcoberta, Palol de Revardit, Porqueres, Sant Miquel de Campmajor, Serinyà, and Vilademuls), with a headcount of 19 employees.

The council operates a diversified service portfolio organized into multiple specialized units: waste management and environmental services (selective collection, door-to-door collection, controlled landfill, civic amenity sites, wastewater treatment); social services including Centre El Puig (adult disability care, founded 1996), CDIAP (early childhood development), COIET (occupational and special employment center for people with disabilities), and the joint Càritas-managed Food Distribution Centre serving ~300 families; educational support (school transport, dining grants, free meals); cultural and heritage programs (Arxiu Comarcal, Arqueoparc Coves de Serinyà prehistoric caves park, Catalan language service); youth services; economic promotion and territorial employment; consumer affairs; and an animal shelter. Digital administration is delivered through a Seu Electrònica (electronic headquarters) built on the Consorci Administració Oberta de Catalunya (AOC) infrastructure.

The business model is that of a publicly funded administration: revenue consists of allocations from the Generalitat de Catalunya and Diputació de Girona, contributions from the 11 constituent municipalities, modest service fees (waste rates, Arqueoparc admissions), and in-kind civic support (e.g., warehouse cession from Gest-Plast Banyoles 2006 SL). Service delivery is via physical service offices, specialized centers, and digital channels. Strategic partnerships include Generalitat de Catalunya (cultural heritage funding), AOC (e-government platform), Diputació de Girona (inter-county coordination), Ajuntament de Banyoles (joint social programs), Càritas (food distribution), and Universitat de Girona (archival work). The institution was recognized by AOC as one of the top five county councils in Catalonia for digital administration in 2026.
