It is vital the voice of the community is heard to help shape the future direction of the City, which is why the City has begun a major review of its Strategic Community Plan (SCP).

The City will be engaging widely with residents over the coming months to ensure a diverse range of community members can share their views on what the new SCP should look like. Community members are encouraged to complete a short online survey to help inform the development of the SCP.
