Community Engagement Strategy - Lithgow City Council




The Community Strategic Plan is to be developed in collaboration with the community and establishes an overarching framework based on the community’s main priorities and aspirations for the future of our area.
However, Council is not wholly responsible for the implementation of the plan.  The community strategic plan requires a collaborative approach between Council and its partners; state agencies and community groups to deliver the long-term objectives of the plan.
Our Place, Our Future – Draft Community Strategic Plan 2021 has been developed following continued consultation with the community since the development of the Strategic Plan 2007.  It shows that although we have achieved many of the objectives set, integrated planning is part of a continual process of reviewing, developing and implementing plans, strategies and processes to ensure the long-term sustainability of our local government area.
