The Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS) is a new strategic document that will guide the future of planning in the City.
The draft LSPS includes a planning vision and sets out planning priorities that will help determine how we manage our land now and into the future.
It will set out:
The LSPS will be strategically linked to our Community Strategic Plan and reflect the same key areas - Community, Environment, Leadership and Economy. By addressing these areas in an integrated manner the LSPS will be developed with a holistic view ensuring that a variety of issues are considered within our planning framework.
Over the next 20 years Shellharbour's population is expected to reach 93,440, this is about 20,000 more people living here. When developed the LSPS will guide how we manage the City's growth.
Planning for our community is important and takes into account a range of factors for example; housing, arts and culture, heritage, a city that is accessible for everyone, and how we can move around the city in a healthy way.
Planning for our community’s future will help us to create a safe and vibrant city that reflects the diversity of who we are. Our community is changing and we need to consider our changing population and ensure that we have everything that they need.
Planning for our economy ensures that we have enough land zoned for business, employment and study. This means that we are able to work locally, access the services we need locally and study here as well. Thinking about the future of our economy also means that we have the services and accommodation to cater for tourism opportunities across the City.
Let's chat about how we can plan for the 'environment' for the next 20 years.
Planning for the future growth of our area needs to have a balanced approach. Managing the development around rural lands to enhance and protect our natural environment.
It will also help us to plan for our waterways and coastal zones and ensure these are healthy, and to protect our biodiversity. Planning for the future of our environment will ensure we are adaptable City that is planned for a changing environment.
We need to plan for leadership to ensure that the decisions we make are implemented. This gives Council and Councillors the responsibility of implementing our priorities for planning for the future. Leadership also relates to creating opportunities for our community to be involved in the decision making process as we plan for our future.
