1. Vibrant Community

Our community is enhanced in its cultural life, connections and wellbeing - catering for all generations and needs

Context

Our community members actively support each other and residents have a strong sense of belonging and community spirit. Residents are involved in the community and a high percentage regularly volunteer to help others.

Our community is made up of people of all ages and life stages. Our public places, facilities and services need to reflect this and be accessible to all. Everyone should have the opportunity to access the things they need for a good quality of life.

Residents can easily access a range of specialised health services, catering to their mental and physical wellbeing. Our dependency on these services will increase as our community grows older. The new Northern Beaches Hospital at Frenchs Forest will enhance the experience of people who rely on these services.

Safety is important for participation in community life. We are free of health risks associated with poor public hygiene standards, our crime rates are low and we perceive that our neighbourhoods are relatively safe. As we grow and change we need to ensure our public places and facilities continue to be safe during the day and night.

Arts and culture increase our enjoyment of life. We need to foster our creativity and have the opportunity to access a diverse range of arts, cultural and entertainment options. Festivals, events and cultural activities reflect and strengthen our cultural diversity and celebrate our heritage.
