The Community Strategic Plan (CSP) sets a long-term vision for the Camden LGA, addressing key areas such as infrastructure, services, environmental sustainability, and social wellbeing. It guides Council’s decisions and ensures that the needs of the community are reflected in future planning.

Updating the CSP is one of the Local Government legislative requirements. With the Camden LGA's population and demographics evolving rapidly, it is crucial to revisit and update the plan to ensure it reflects the current and future needs of the community while maintaining Camden LGA's unique identity.

Council offered a variety of engagement opportunities in November 2024 including an online survey, design competition, community forum, interviews with local business sectors, pop-up stalls at local events and shopping centres, and workshops with government agencies.

A review of information gathered from community and stakeholders will guide the development of a draft Community Strategic Plan which will be exhibited around April 2025.

Submissions will be invited during the public exhibition period to provide a further opportunity for people to have a say.
