Nambucca Valley Council’s Community Strategic Plan

Nambucca Valley Council’s Community Strategic Plan

Nambucca Valley Council recently released the engagement report as part of the development of Council’s Community Strategic Plan (CSP) 2025 – 2035. And it’s fantastic!

The CSP is a collective vision that guides local council activities over a ten-year period.  148 of our Scotts Head community engaged in this process, and as a result our town is well represented. Thanks Scotts Head!

It is also wonderful to see that the rest of the valley is well aligned with our own town’s values and vision for the future. Our community’s strategic plan has a very similar focus and concern.

Here is a brief summary of the key priority areas:

• Protect the environment and live sustainably
• Encourage vibrant town centres and villages
• Demonstrate Council leadership and governance
• Improve community recreational infrastructure 
• Connect and support all communities
• Support young people to thrive
• Enhance community safety
• Manage the intensity of agriculture
• Provide safe roads and increase access
• Balance housing and population growth

Representatives of the SHCG were fortunate to recently attend a workshop, along with other Nambucca Valley representatives, to further review and refine the next phase of the CSP process.  The final report is scheduled to be adopted by Council by 30 June 2025.  Prior to being adopted it will be placed on public exhibition and available for community feedback.

SHCG encourage all members of the community to take the time to read the engagement report and take an active interest in its development over the next six months.
