Community Strategic Plan

Blayney Shire Council is in the process of reviewing and updating the Community Strategic Plan (CSP). The CSP is a community document with priorities and aspirations for the future of the Shire covering a period of at least 10 years. The CSP is developed by the community, endorsed by Council and must address civic leadership, social environmental and economic issues. It forms an important reference point for State agencies preparing their plans and programs for our region. This document then feeds into our Delivery Program (completed every 4 years) and Operational Plan (completed every 12 months).

Current Status: Public Exhibition Closed, Draft Plan and feedback to be presented at Council Meeting

The Draft CSP was put to Council at the Ordinary Meeting on Tuesday 25 March and endorsed for public exhibition. This is the stage where Council goes back to the community for feedback to make sure the plan is an accurate of what the community wants to see over the next 10+ years.

In the plan, there are:

• Five proposed themes which each have 3 or 4 Community Priorities which look at ‘Where do we want to be in 10 years’ time?’ These priorities have a mix of stakeholders and partners with Council not always taking on the ‘provider’ role.
• Each of these community priorities have a series of strategies on ‘How will we get there?’
• Each theme then has a series of measures and sources which consider ‘What does success look like?’
