Management Plan Priority Area Links

Blacktown City 2025 is deliberately broad in scope. This is because other existing strategies, plans and initiatives of Council provide the detail underpinning it. Blacktown City 2025 contains Council's overall strategic intent through strategies and objectives. Council's Management Plan, as well as other documents, contains the actions Council will be undertaking to reach our Vision for 2025.

Blacktown City 2025 has been drafted to take into consideration and integrate with the Management Plan. Council has recognised the need to have a strong and well-structured Management Plan with a clear short and medium term focus on the varied needs of the many stakeholders vying for Council's limited human, infrastructure and financial resources.

The Priority Areas from the Management Plan and corresponding statements are reproduced below. The diagram following each Priority Area statement demonstrates the link between the Priority Areas and Blacktown City 2025 (BC2025) with the strategy highlighted if a link has been established.
