Help Shape the Future of Bourke Shire
The Bourke Shire Council is dedicated to fostering a prosperous future for the community by ensuring sustainable growth and development. As part of this commitment, the Council is undertaking a review of its 10-Year Community Strategic Plan (CSP) to align with the evolving needs and aspirations of residents.
What is the Community Strategic Plan?
The Community Strategic Plan (CSP) serves as a guiding framework that reflects the community’s long-term vision and priorities for the Bourke Shire. This plan is reviewed every four years following local government elections in New South Wales to ensure it remains relevant and responsive to the community’s needs.
As the highest-level planning document for the Council, the CSP outlines strategic objectives that define the desired future for the Shire and details how local government and other stakeholders will collaborate to achieve these goals over the next decade.
The CSP is structured around four essential questions:
- Where are we now? – Evaluating the current status of the community and its challenges.
- Community Consultation – Meet Council representatives in person at various community locations:
- Face-to-Face Consultation – Schedule an appointment to discuss your thoughts directly with Council staff. To book a meeting, call 6830 8000 or email bourkeshire@bourke.nsw.gov.au.
