Welcome
The Community Strategic Plan 2023 looks to the future – our challenges, our values and our aspirations. It identifies six Outcomes that are important including healthy environment, lifestyle and recreation, and liveable neighbourhoods.
The development of the Plan has taken over 12 months and involved a range of consultation with the Warringah community to capture the aspirations for the future. Our consultation included:
- Community workshops
- Telephone survey
- Focus groups
- Field work
- Engagement with target groups (youth, business community etc)
While Council facilitated the development of the Community Strategic Plan, the vision, outcomes and objectives belong to the whole Warringah community. The Community Strategic Plan identifies some objectives that are beyond Council’s responsibility. Council can advocate, inform and influence matters such as affordable housing or improved public transport but cannot directly control them. The Community Strategic Plan recognises that business, other levels of government, non-government organisations and the community must contribute to our future.
Developing the Community Strategic Plan would not have been possible without the community generously giving their time by attending consultation events and submitting responses.
We offer thanks to all members of the community who contributed to Warringah’s shared vision.
