Community Strategic Plan 2042 Review

We are seeking feedback on the revised Snowy Monaro Community Strategic Plan 2042. Please submit your comments by 11.59pm on Monday 24 March 2025.

Background

Originally adopted in 2022, the Community Strategic Plan (CSP) is the highest-level strategic document 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.

Over the past 12 months, Council staff have conducted a light touch review of the CSP, incorporating feedback from our consultation held in early 2024. This process ensures the plan remains relevant and aligned with community priorities.

The CSP consists of five key themes:

1. Our Community – Supporting connected, inclusive, and healthy communities
2. Our Economy – Driving economic sustainability and local opportunities
3. Our Environment – Protecting and enhancing the region’s natural assets
4. Our Infrastructure – Improving transport, utilities, and community facilities
5. Our Civic Leadership – Ensuring transparent and effective governance

This review considers the challenges and priorities facing the Snowy Monaro, including housing affordability, infrastructure investment, sustainability, and economic resilience.

While the CSP sets overarching strategic goals, specific projects and service details are addressed in the upcoming Delivery Program and Operational Plans, which will open for consultation later this year.

The plan will be revised based on your feedback and presented to Council for review and adoption by Council, following this consultation.

You can download a PDF version of the CSP from our documents panel (right of the screen on PCs and Macs, bottom of the page on smartphones and tablets) and hard copies are available from every Council office.
