Local Strategic Planning Statement
Council is leading a positive shift towards sustainable urban living through the Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS). This document will guide land use in the Inner West over the next 20 years.
Sustainable and coordinated land use will support more renewable energy, local waste reduction, shared transport and local business. The LSPS will also guide the alignment of population growth and infrastructure.
How was the statement developed?
We have built on evidence-based studies created with community input and neighbourhood surveys to link Inner West community values and priorities with Greater Sydney Commission plans to manage future challenges.
The LSPS will act as a link between the NSW Government's Regional and District plans, and the finer-grained planning undertaken by Council at a local level to ensure consistency in strategic planning approaches.
The LSPS consists of Council’s vision and a set of planning priorities, objectives and actions under six themes:
- Ecological sustainability
- Unique, liveable, networked neighbourhoods
- Sustainable transport
- Creative communities and strong economy
- Caring, happy, healthy communities
- Progressive local leadership
