CITYPLAN

Cityplan is Council’s strategic plan for the Shoalhaven, which will help guide the future direction of our City over the next 20 years and beyond.

It was adopted in June 2000 and identifies the objectives and strategies that Council will use to help steer our day-to-day decision-making and actions towards realising our Vision:

We will work together in the Shoalhaven to foster a safe, attractive place for people to live, work, stay and play; where growth, development and environmental protection are managed to provide a unique and relaxed lifestyle.”

Cityplan is supported by an important set of detailed and integrated plans or strategies under four Principal Activity areas – Environment, Economy, Community and Council.  In addition, Council has 2 further principal activity areas of Shoalhaven Water and Holiday Haven Tourist Parks, these are both major business units of Council with a revenue base of more than $2 million pa.

Cityplan is both a plan and a process.  It aims to ensure that decisions are made in the context of the big picture and that as far as possible priorities for action are set at certain points in the year rather than on an ad hoc basis.

The annual Management Plan of Council is structured around Cityplan’s objectives and strategies and progress is monitored and reported on a quarterly basis.
