Following a two staged community engagement program in 2019, the Georges River Local Strategic Planning Statement 2040 ('LSPS 2040') has received a letter of support from the Greater Sydney Commission and has been made.

We were also awarded a commendation for ‘Great community collaboration’ at the 2020 Greater Sydney Planning Awards for outstanding leadership and excellence in community collaboration.
 
LSPS 2040 will guide land use planning and the delivery of significant infrastructure for our local government area (LGA) over the next 20 years.
 
LSPS 2040 creates a land use vision for the future that recognises the character of our suburbs. It builds on our community’s social, environmental and economic values and strengths.
 
LSPS 2040 was informed by an engagement program with the community, Councillors, State Government and other partners. This program included:

• Over 900 community members participating in workshops, drop-ins and pop-up events;
• 743 surveys completed on Housing and Centres;
• 136 submissions during the public exhibition period; and
• Almost 8000 visits to the LSPS website.

LSPS 2040 sets out an ideal character for our LGA and a roadmap to deliver the community’s vision into the future. The document and its accompanying Implementation Plan contain over 100 actions. These actions guide our work on the ground and inform other Council plans and policies.
