Planning for Lismore's Future

Lismore City Council is developing a new Community Strategic Plan.

The Community Strategic Plan is part of the NSW Government’s Integrated Planning and Reporting framework and all NSW councils are required to develop these plans to guide their long-term direction.

The Community Strategic Plan is a 10-year document which clearly sets out the community’s vision for the future and articulates how local people want our city, villages and rural areas to look in the next decade.

Council is required to develop this Community Strategic Plan but we are not responsible for the delivery of all of it. For some aspects we are a Service Provider. For example, water, wastewater and rubbish collection. For some aspects we partner with other organisations and for some aspects (such as transport, health and housing,) we advocate to other levels of government for better services in our Regional City.

In order to create this plan, we undertake extensive community consultation to confirm our community’s aspirations for the future. The Newsfeed function below provides details on what engagement has taken place so far.

Further updates on the development of the Community Strategic Plan will commence after the September 2021 Local Government Elections.

The draft Community Strategic Plan will go on public exhibition in May 2022. Click on 'subscribe' on the right hand side of the page and we will email you when the documents go on exhibition.
