Community Strategic Plan survey
4 March 2022
Camden's Community Strategic Plan outlines how Council and the community will collaborate to deliver a shared vision. It will also guide our key planning, investment, management and operational decisions up to 2036.
The Community Strategic Plan must be reviewed and used by the new Council to guide its actions for the term of office.
Community input is vital.
We want to understand your aspirations for the future and identify where we should be focusing our efforts to make Camden an amazing place to live, work and play.

Background Information
Legislation requires that Camden Council review its Community Strategic Plan (CSP) following an election of Councillors. The election took place on Saturday 4 December 2021.
Knowing this was required, we commenced an internal review of the current CSP in 2021, sought input from the community in early 2022 and are now publicly exhibiting the draft CSP and supporting documents.
Camden Council must endorse any changes to the CSP by 30 June 2022.
The Integrated Planning and Reporting (IPR) framework recognises that most communities share similar aspirations including a safe, healthy and pleasant place to live, a sustainable environment, opportunities for social interaction, opportunities for education and employment and reliable infrastructure.
Key components of the framework are the Camden Community Strategic Plan, Delivery Program and Operational Plan.

We also have a number of other strategies, policies and plans that are developed utilising an evidence-based approach including key trends, potential issues and opportunities.

The Annual Report contains information about how Council has performed in implementing the Community Strategic Plan and its Delivery Program over the year. It also includes Council’s audited financial statements and a range of statutory information.
