Community strategic plan 2025-2050

We have developed Blacktown City, one community building a brighter future on behalf of the community of Blacktown City, as its long term Community strategic plan. This plan identifies the main priorities of our community and aspirations for the City over the next 25 years and beyond. Its Strategic priorities and Objectives are comprehensive and based on principles of sustainability and social equity.

It outlines our practical approach to achieving the community’s aspirations for the City. Alongside the Strategic priorities are a set of transformational projects that complete the vision for the City, ensuring that the Community strategic plan is delivered.

The Strategic priorities and Transformational projects have been designed to ensure that the City is in a position to make Blacktown City, one community building a brighter future a reality. 

To achieve the vision, the Community strategic plan addresses 4 distinct elements: social, environmental, economic and civic leadership known as the quadruple bottom line. These Strategic priorities, each reflect a particular theme or aspect of the City and the life and wellbeing of the community. They are interdependent, reflecting the requirements for a sustainable city. The identification of these Strategic priorities and Objectives allows us to target key areas and develop their potential in Blacktown City now and into the future.
