Proud and passionate Shoalhaven residents are invited to help shape the future of the city by providing feedback that will inform the Community Strategic Plan 2035 (CSP).
The CSP reflects the community’s vision for the Shoalhaven over the next 10 years by setting goals and priorities for the city and outlining how they will be achieved.
The plan also identifies outcomes to ensure the community’s vision can be realised.
“While Council takes a lead role in developing and implementing the CSP, it is everyone's responsibility to help make our collective vision for the city a reality,” said Mayor Patricia White.
“The CSP is an aspirational document, that expresses the community’s wishes for the future of our city. It’s the highest order strategy that Council has and as such, sets the direction of our decisions for the next four years,” Cr White said.
“It’s vital that we hear from as many people as possible to understand their desires for the Shoalhaven to ensure we can continue to make decisions that their aspirations,” she said.
“Whether people value a thriving local economy, a safe community, more green space, greater recognition of Aboriginal culture or better facilities for young people – now is the time to tell us what matters most.
