The Local Strategic Planning Statement is now calling for community feedback

About the Project

We're updating Shellharbour’s Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS) and we want your insights!

The LSPS is Council’s big-picture strategy for how our city grows and changes over the next 20 years. It looks at:

  • Where new homes will go
  • How we protect nature
  • Where jobs and services are needed
  • What community spaces and transport will support you (residents)

Every Council in NSW must have an LSPS, and we’re required to review it every 7 years. Shellharbour’s first LSPS was adopted in 2020, and after a quick update in 2022, we’re now doing a review.

This review is based on:
  • Feedback
  • Council’s updated planning documents
  • New directions from the NSW Government
  • The changing needs of our growing city

The revised version reflects shared values and sets out clear priorities and actions for the future.

Where we are now

We’ve drafted an updated version of the Local Strategic Planning Statement and now we’re checking in with the community to make sure we’re on the right track.

This stage is all about making sure the strategy:

  • Reflects what matters most to you 🗣️
  • Focuses on the right priorities for Shellharbour’s future
  • Doesn’t miss anything important

Your thoughts will help shape how the plan is finalised and how Council takes action.
