All Councils in NSW are required to adhere to the Integrated Planning and Reporting (IP&R) Framework. In essence, the IP&R Framework begins with the community’s aspirations for the future, not Council’s. It includes a suite of integrated plans that set out a vision, goals and strategic actions to achieve them.

The Snowy Monaro Community Strategic Plan (CSP) is based on the aspirations and priorities of our community. Informed by community input, it sets out a long-term vision for the region to 2042 and identifies the key priorities and strategies for achieving this. The CSP also must consider the NSW Government’s state plans, regional plans and other strategies and plans that are in place.

Council leads the development of the Community Strategic Plan (CSP) on behalf of our community. We take your feedback, collate it and present it to the newly elected Council to help them determine their priorities for their term in office. Council has the custodial role of initiating, preparing and maintaining the CSP on behalf of the Snowy Monaro region, however, we are not wholly responsible for its implementation. Other partners, such as state agencies and community groups will also be involved in delivering the long-term objectives of the plan
