Council seeks feedback on strategic plans

Central Coast Council is seeking community feedback about its Community Strategic Plan and the Local Strategic Planning Statement.

Council Administrator Mr Rik Hart said the two documents "represent the highest level of strategic planning undertaken by a local council".

He said they were developed on behalf of the community, "so it's important they represent a wide range of views", he said.

"Council plays a leadership role in initiating and developing the CSP, but it is not solely responsible for its implementation.

"Everyone can contribute to delivery of our community vision, including our partners in state government and non-government agencies, businesses and community groups, and individual members of the community.

"We want to ... make sure that the next iteration of these important guiding documents still aligns with what the community would like to see for the future of the Central Coast.

"This survey is the first step in our engagement program and will provide us with meaningful data to help gauge what's important to our community."

Further consultation will be undertaken via community workshops and public exhibition of the draft documents in early 2025.

Council planning director Dr Alice Howe said the Council wanted to hear from all community members "about their lived experiences, values, perceptions and desires for the Central Coast region".

She said the Community Strategic Plan "provides the Central Coast community's vision for the region and describes the key objectives we can all work towards to achieve that vision over the next 10 years".

She said the Local Strategic Planning Statement "frames the future land use direction for the Central Coast over the next 20 years".

"Together the CSP and LSPS help guide delivery of the social, environmental and economic aspirations of the community."

Details are available on the council website https://www.yourvoiceourcoast.com/CSPandLSPS.

Feedback will be accepted until Monday, October 16.
