What is Wollongong 2022 Community Strategic Plan?
Will this plan still be relevant if a merger with Shellharbour City Council goes ahead?
In December 2015, the NSW State Government announced proposals to merge a number of councils across the state. This included a proposal to amalgamate Wollongong City Council and Shellharbour City Council. When the announcement was made, the Office of Local Government issued Section 23A Guidelines for Council Decision Making During Merger Proposal Periods, which sets out the way in which councils should approach their annual planning for 2016/17. Accordingly, these plans have been prepared subject to those constraints, generally meaning that major new initiatives not already outlined in the adopted Delivery Program 2012 – 2017 were not able to be considered for 2016/17.
At the time this went to print, no announcement on the decision regarding the merger proposal for Wollongong and Shellharbour City Councils had been made. Should the NSW State Government decide to proceed with the merger, then the new organisation would deliver both Wollongong and Shellharbour’s 2016/17 Annual Plans concurrently.
