Strong, Safe, Connected - Wollondilly Resilience Plan


Help Shape a Connected and Resilient Future Together

Wollondilly has faced many challenges in recent years – from bushfires and floods, to the pandemic, and cost of living pressures. Through it all, the Wollondilly community has shown strength and genuine care for one another. We want to build on this and ensure we are prepared for addressing challenges in the future.

To do this, Council is creating the Wollondilly Resilience Plan – a four-year plan to help our community prepare for shocks (emergencies) and stressors (everyday challenges) and to strengthen social connections across our growing community.

The aim is to develop and implement a community-led resilience plan that reflects local strengths, needs and priorities, and identifies practical, place-based actions to be delivered over the next four years.

Community input and co-design are key factors as we develop the plan.

Take a 10-Minute Survey and Go in the Draw

In the initial phase of engagement we’re inviting you to complete a survey. It’s a ‘check-in’ to help determine where our community is at right now —

  • What is working well
  • What challenges remain
  • What would help you feel more prepared?

We want to better understand your experiences, priorities, and ideas for making Wollondilly even stronger, more socially connected, and resilient. Your input will help shape the development of the Wollondilly Resilience Plan 2026–2030; guiding real, practical actions to support our community before, during, and after tough times.

This survey will take around 10 minutes. Plus, you can choose to go in the draw to win one of five $50 ‘Shop Local’ vouchers.

The project is jointly funded by the Federal and NSW Governments and is administered through the NSW Reconstruction Authority.

More Information

If you have any questions or would like a paper copy of the survey mailed to you, please contact our Resilience and Emergency Planning Coordinator on 4677 1100.

The survey closes on 6 August 2025.
