Social Infrastructure Future Directions Plan 2022 - 2036
Consultation has concluded
The Places for the Future – Social Infrastructure Future Directions Plan: 2022-2036 will inform Council’s decision-making on the Social Infrastructure required to service Wollongong residents over the next 14 years. The draft Future Directions Plan focuses on 'Foundation' Social Infrastructure, which are Council-owned facilities like libraries, community centres, community halls and cultural facilities.
We know these places are important to our community and invite you to look over the draft plan and share your feedback.
Background
Council adopted the Places for People - Social Infrastructure Planning Framework: 2018-2028, in December 2018. That planning framework was used to analyse social infrastructure priorities and opportunities across the Wollongong Local Government Area (LGA). From there, the draft Future Directions Plan has been developed to provide an evidence-based assessment of current and projected population trends and expected community demand, expectations and needs for community and cultural facilities.
