Share your thoughts on Our Future Willoughby 2036

Are you interested in our environment, community, transport, housing, economy, public spaces or facilities, Council services and events? Then have a say on the plan, Our Future Willoughby 2036. This is the Community Strategic Plan (CSP) for the coming decade across the Willoughby Council area.  

It captures community aspirations beyond just what Council provides, and extends to what State Government, business, groups and residents can help achieve too. It’s been updated following extensive community engagement in July, and your thoughts on the draft plan are invited to ensure it’s tuned to the community’s vision and priorities.

    Stage 1 community engagement is complete

    Thank you for your valuable feedback - we heard from over 400 people through the surveys, workshops and interviews, a great response!
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In July 2024 we asked the community what was important to them, the challenges our community faces, and the hopes for the future.

    We're updating our 10-year Community Strategy Plan (CSP), also known as Our Future Willoughby 2032, and wanted to tap into the community's ideas - this will help us tune the plan for the next decade to create Our Future Willoughby 2036. It's Council's highest level plan which drives all other planning, programs and actions we deliver. Every 4 years we need to revise the plan, in line with the community's current and future values, needs and priorities.

    What happens next?

    • Stage 1: We'll analyse everything you've told us and consider how to adjust the plan. In the 28 October 2024 Council meeting the State of our City Report will be presented. It will include our progress, community feedback and recommendations on how to update Our Future Willoughby.
    • Stage 2: late 2024 we will exhibit the draft Our Future Willoughby 2036 for more community feedback, and Council will adopt the final plan in February 2025.
    • Stage 3: late April-late May 2025 we will exhibit the other documents which support and implement the plan through Council's services and infrastructure: The Resourcing Strategy, 5 Asset Management Plans, 4-year Delivery Program, and annual Operational Plan with Budget, Fees and Charges. These will be adopted in late June 2025.
