Corporate planning and reporting

Council plans for a sustainable future while keeping the community informed along the way.

We follow the Integrated Planning and Reporting (IP&R) framework, which guides the way councils in NSW document their plans for the future and report on their progress.

The plans in the IP&R Framework define the vision for councils, and the goals and strategic actions to achieve them.

Planning for the future of Griffith

Community Engagement Strategy 2024-26

Community Strategic Plan 2025-2035

The Community Strategic Plan (CSP)(PDF, 44MB) is Council’s key strategic planning document and guides the future direction of the Griffith Local Government Area for the next 10 years and describes the community’s vision and aspirations for Griffith. It also describes our priorities and the approach we will take to achieve the community’s long-term vision for Griffith.

What our Community said

The Your Vision, Our Future Griffith report was prepared as part of the review process for Community Strategic Plan (CSP) 2022-2032.

The aim of this document is to help Council and the community better understand what people currently love about Griffith, what they think is missing, and how they imagine the future. It provides a snapshot in time; to give our community a better understanding of who we are, where we live and the direction we would like to head by providing insights into the issues and aspirations of our community.

Through this consultation, around 6,000 members of our community provided their views, with both concise and detailed comments received at a range of events and online.

Being mindful that Council has been consulting regularly on a wide variety of issues, and to eliminate consultation fatigue, this document contains feedback collected since the current CSP was created in 2022.

The end result will be the revised Community Strategic Plan 2025-2035 which will be released for comment in early 2025 and will help shape the direction of Council’s work and spending for the next 10 years.
