State of the City report

The State of the City report provides an update on the progress in implementing the Community strategic plan. The report covers the 4-year term of the previous council and objectively tracks council’s progress against the Community strategic plan. It considers how effective the Council has been in delivering social, environmental, economic and civic leadership outcomes while considering what might need to change if we are to keep progressing the community’s vision.

Every council in NSW will have a State of the City report that must be presented to the second meeting of the incoming Council after the local government elections. It sets the scene for the new Council and the community by not only capturing the current ‘state’ of our City but by considering ‘where to next’, to address the challenges and opportunities ahead. The report assists the new council to undertake a review of the Community strategic plan, which is an essential component of Integrated Planning and Reporting cycle.
