The Community Strategic Plan seeks to identify our priorities for the future, and articulates where we want to be as a community within the next 10 years. 

It is the highest level plan for Wollondilly Shire Council, and is used by Council, as well as other agencies and stakeholders, to guide policy and service delivery. It details our key issues, strengths, opportunities and challenges for the future.

The Community Strategic Plan is focused on five themes, with an aspirational statement describing what are trying to achieve for each theme.  

People 

• A safe, inclusive and resilient community, with access to services that support good health and well being.

Environment

• Wollondilly’s pristine and beautiful natural environment is protected, responsibly managed and enhanced as we grow and play our part for the future. 

Place & Landscape

• Wollondilly’s unique towns and villages sitting within our beautiful natural landscape. We are shaping growth to ensure change respects what we have and where we want to be. Our communities have the functional infrastructure and safe roads they need.

Economy

• Wollondilly is an emerging and dynamic Shire with a thriving and diverse economy. We seek to attract new viable business to support the region while also supporting our towns, villages and rural lifestyle.

Performance

• The community recognises we are striving to be a leading local government.  We listen and respond to community needs, delivering excellent customer experiences.

The following range of strategic documents are also developed - to bring the Community Strategic Plan to life. They are used by the organisation to plan resources and initiatives.

The Resourcing Strategy identifies the resources required to implement the strategies established in the Community Strategic Plan. It is made up of the Long Term Financial Plan, Asset Management Strategy and Workforce Planning Strategy.  

The Delivery Program is a 4-year action-plan that sets out the activities to implement the strategies in the Community Strategic Plan within the resources available under the resourcing strategy.

The Operational Plan & Budget is a detailed plan which provides information on Council’s key services, projects, programs and budget for the next financial year.

The Capital Works Program for 2022/23 - 2026/27 is provided on the basis that funding will be approved for the various programs, therefore the works listed are subject to change as budgets are adopted over the proceeding financial years.       

The following should be noted when viewing the program:       

• Every attempt has been made to ensure accuracy of the projects listed, however, as there may be changes to budgets and as the program may be altered to accommodate urgent or unforeseen works - the program is published as a working document that will be constantly monitored and revised as required; 

• Strategic estimated costs are provided as a guide only and are subject to change. Variations to these estimated costs may be necessary due to change in scope as investigations are carried out as part of the design process, material costs, site conditions and geotechnical investigation; 

• The timing of the projects may vary depending on the design requirements, external approvals, available resources, weather etc;

• The program may be changed as final adopted budget figures are determined each year, including the award of grant funding, and

• All reasonable efforts have been made to ensure that there are no duplications of road segments across the various program areas and any remaining duplications will be addressed at the time of investigation works to ensure the appropriate treatment is applied.
