Our Community Strategic Plan (CSP) is everyone’s roadmap for the future of the Northern Beaches. It defines the community’s vision and sets a direction for everything we do together over the coming years to make the vision a reality.
Based on community consultation, we've made some important changes to the CSP. Take a look and share your thoughts on these changes.
The draft Resourcing Strategy ensures Council can effectively meet the community’s long-term needs by planning resources over a 10-year horizon.
It provides stability and confidence in delivering Council’s commitments and consists of 3 key elements: People (Workforce Management Strategy), Assets (Asset Management Strategy & Plan) and Finances (Long-Term Financial Plan).
