Council's Community Strategic Plan guides the future direction of Lake Macquarie City for the next 10 years, and shares the vision and aspirations for the future of Lake Macquarie and sets out the community’s long-term plan.
The plan is Council's key strategic planning document and is developed in collaboration with our community. It maps out the strategies and actions we will take to achieve our community’s long-term vision for the city.
The plan is reviewed every four years, following an election.
Write to Lake Macquarie City Council Attn: Communications and Corporate Planning, Box 1906, Hunter Region Mail Centre, NSW, 2310.
Hard copies of the draft plan are available to view at Lake Mac Libraries branches.
Your submission can be as concise or as long as you wish
Ideally, you will express your level of support for the proposal and provide detailed and specific feedback. The feedback will be reviewed by staff and later presented to Council to make an informed decision.
Should multiple submissions be received from a single resident regarding this project, the feedback will be reviewed by staff and counted as one submission when reporting back to Council.
Any submission received by Council will be publicly available on Council’s website. Submissions may also be accessed under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009. Council may reproduce submissions in Council reports or in Court proceedings.
If you have made a reportable political donation or gift in the last two years your submission must be accompanied by a political donations and gifts disclosure statement. For more information on reportable political donations or gifts, or to download a copy of the statement form, visit lakemac.com.au. Please note failure to complete a statement, if a political donation/gift has been made, is an offence under theEnvironmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.
Feedback may result in changes being made to the draft Community Strategic Plan prior to a report being prepared for Council.
You will be notified again, prior to Council considering the matter, which will include a link to the Council report containing a summary of submissions and how feedback was considered.
