Draft Community Strategic Plan 2022

Consultation has concluded

Consultation period 31 March - Friday 6 May 2022

Council is seeking feedback on the draft Sutherland Shire Community Strategic Plan (CSP) to help shape our plans for the next ten years and beyond. The plan outlines the community's aspirations and long-term vision for Sutherland Shire.

Each Council in NSW prepares a Community Strategic Plan in collaboration with and on behalf of residents, businesses, all levels of government and local agencies. A review of the CSP provides an opportunity for everyone in our community to reflect on where we are and where we want to be in ten years. Let us know your hopes and help us to build a plan that will deliver a vibrant and sustainable future for everyone in the Sutherland Shire.


Our vision (unchanged from previous CSP)

A connected and safe community that respects people and nature, enjoying active lives in a strong local economy.


Our new draft CSP goals

1. Strong civic leadership trusted by an informed and engaged community

2. A beautiful, protected and healthy natural environment

3. A creative, caring and healthy community that celebrates culture and diversity

4. A prosperous, well-educated community with a diverse range of economic opportunities

5. An active community that enjoys safe, accessible and diverse open places and spaces

6. A high quality urban environment, supporting a growing and liveable community


WE ARE SEEKING FEEDBACK ON THE DRAFT PLAN UNTIL FRIDAY 6 MAY 2022
