Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council is seeking feedback on the draft Community Strategic Plan 2042.

Each council in NSW is required to review its Community Strategic Plan every four years and the updated plan guide the actions of council and other agencies.

‘Last year, we looked back at our plan from 2021 and asked the community to tell us how things have changed, and what should stay the same, as we head Towards 2042,’ said Mayor Kenrick Winchester.

‘Taking that feedback from the community, we have developed this Draft Community Strategic Plan that outlines the aspirations and priorities for our local government area into the future.

‘We want to hear the community’s feedback on this draft plan to make sure we understand their aspirations for our region.’

People who shared feedback with us during our Towards 20242 consultation indicated that they prioritise:

  • Economic growth, focusing on improvements to Monaro Street, updating shop façades, diversifying retail options, and supporting small businesses.
  • Caring for the environment by leading climate adaptation efforts, achieving carbon neutrality, increasing canopy cover, and managing waste efficiently.
  • Enhancing sports and recreation facilities, including expanding cycling and walking paths, creating dog-friendly areas, and improving aquatic facilities.
  • Upgrading infrastructure, with priorities on enhancing car parking, upgrading footpaths, expanding local infrastructure, improving internet and mobile connectivity, maintaining roads, and securing water resources.
  • Housing for all, by increasing the availability of affordable housing and reducing homelessness.

The adopted plan will inform the development of our next Delivery Program which responds to the community’s feedback within a four-year work plan and our Operational Plan which spells out the actions to be undertaken within a financial year.

Read the draft Community Strategic Plan 2042 and have your say by 4:30pm 8 May 2025.
