About the project
The Community Infrastructure Strategic Plan 2017 – 2036 (CISP) provides a framework to guide the planning and strategic management of open space and community facilities owned and / or managed by Council.
Open space and community facilities are buildings and land which have been designed and / or designated for recreational activities. This includes:
- Sportsgrounds and sports courts
- Showgrounds and equestrian facilities
- Aquatic, leisure, and indoor sports centres
- Skate parks, BMX tracks and pump tracks
- Public halls and community centres
- Cultural buildings (e.g. libraries, galleries, museums, arts and craft buildings)
- Specialised community buildings (e.g. scouts / girl guides clubs, youth clubs, men’s sheds)
- Foreshore and marine facilities (e.g. surf clubs, sailing clubs, jetties)
- Tracks, trails, and boardwalks
- Commercial facilities (e.g. the Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre and the Shoalhaven City Turf Club).
Why is the CISP being reviewed?
The Community Infrastructure Strategic Plan (CISP) was adopted in 2017 and is due for review. Regular reviews are necessary to ensure that the recommendations in the CISP reflect current population data and meet the needs of the community now and into the future.
