Residents Invited To Share Their Vision For Griffith’s Future

Griffith City Council is undertaking a review of the Community Strategic Plan (CSP), Council’s key plan, providing direction and focus for all subsequent plans and strategies for Griffith over the next decade.

While Council will take the lead role in the implementation of the plan, partnerships with other levels of government, residents, industry and community organisations all play a part in achieving the long-term goals.

Council will embark on a comprehensive engagement process across the local government area (LGA) in the upcoming months, seeking input from the community to identify long-term vision, aspirations and main priorities.

Community members are encouraged to attend various engagement opportunities facilitated by Council.

Around 80 students attended Council’s Annual School Leaders event which kicked off the Your Vision, Our Future campaign on Monday, February 26, and shared their views.

Griffith Mayor, Doug Curran said it was important to note that the CSP was not just a Council-specific plan but a collaborative community plan that defined our collective identity and future goals.

“While the review of the Sommunity Strategic Plan is a legislative requirement, our primary goal is to understand the current views of the community,” Mayor Curran said.

“We want to ensure the plan is representative of the community’s aspirations and reflects any changes in our shared vision.”

Mayor Curran said the aim of the CSP was to cover all aspects of community life, from social interaction and safety to cultural and recreational facilities, economic sustainability, environment, infrastructure and community leadership.

“It looks at the big picture of what makes Griffith a great place to live, and that’s why it’s crucial for everyone in the community to get involved and share their input,” Mayor Curran said.

Over the next six months, Council staff will run pop-up stalls, attend community events, visit local shopping centres and engage with community groups.

Residents are also encouraged to participate online through the Your Vision, Our Future Survey: griffith.nsw.gov.au/yoursay.

All community members are urged to keep an eye out for upcoming opportunities in the Council Catch Up Newsletter, on the website and social media.

“I encourage all residents to take part and make their vision for the future of Griffith count,” Mayor Curran said.
