CSP timeline changes as a result of the postponement of the September 2020 Local Government Elections

What’s new or changing?

• The Minister for Local Government has announced that the September 2020 local government elections will be postponed to address the risks posed by the COVID-19 virus.
  
  

What this mean for the review of the Community Strategic Plan

• The postponement of elections has implications for the activities councils may be required to undertake in the current and next integrated planning and reporting (IP&R) cycles. This means that the review of the Community Strategic Plan will be postponed until 2021. The Office of Local Government will be providing further detailed guidance to Council's on this and other changes to statutory timeframes that may become necessary as a result of deferring elections. When this occurs we will update this project page.
• The feedback the community has provided us to date will not be wasted, as we will continue to engage and check back in to see that what you have told in during the consultation activities is still current.
