Background
After each Council election, we review and update our Community Strategic Plan. This plan outlines the community's vision - your vision for us - and what our priorities over the next 10 years will be.
Council is required to adopt the new Community Strategic Plan by June 2025.
The plan addresses four questions.
- Where are we now?
- Where do we want to be in 10 years’ time?
- How will we get there?
- How will we know we have arrived?
We would like your feedback. Feedback received through surveys, workshops, community panel and precinct workshop and other engagement channels will inform the preparation of the Integrated Planning and Reporting suite of documents, including the Community Strategic Plan.
Priorities for the future
In the last two years, Council consulted the community to develop a series of strategic documents.
The following themes are issues our community would like us to address as a priority.
- Affordable Housing
- Managing Impacts of Development
- Transport, Pedestrians and Parking
- Supporting community wellbeing and strengthening social cohesion, diversity, and inclusion
- Availability and accessibility of infrastructure and public spaces
- Local Economy, Tourism, Night Time Economy and Local Business
- Maintenance of public infrastructure/ Local Centre Upgrades
- Environment/Climate Change/Trees/ Green Spaces and Biodiversity
We sought community feedback on the issue paper themes up until Thursday, 30 January 2025.

CSP Safety Survey
Council is undertaking a community safety survey to better understand our community’s sense of feeling welcome and safe in and around public spaces in the Waverley LGA . Your feedback will inform the preparation of the Community Strategic Plan and related documents.
The survey closed on Thursday, 30 January 2025. Thank you to all who participated in the survey.
Our community vision
The vision we prepared in 2022 in consultation with our community is:
Waverley is a vibrant and resilient community. We take care of each other, our natural environment and local places. Our community is empowered to collaborate for a sustainable and connected Waverley for future generations.
