  • Local Strategic Planning Statement Planning for a Brighter Future March 2020
    LOCAL STRATEGIC PLANNING STATEMENT PLANNING FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE MARCH 2020 penrith.city A MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR Penrith is on the cusp of change and poised for a new and bright future. The planning decisions we make now will play a critical role in influencing the character and identity of our City for the next generation. The Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS) is the critical first step in making the right plans for Penrith. The LSPS brings together the priorities identified at state, regional, district and local levels, and provides important local context to the planning actions and priorities for Penrith’s future. It is also important that the community have a voice in helping shape key strategic documents like the LSPS. Penrith has a high resident retention rate. People move here, they love it and they stay. This strong sense of community spirit permeates the LSPS. We have incorporated feedback from recent community engagement, including the Community Plan and Customer Service surveys, as well as community consultation already undertaken through an online survey, and the Community Panel. I have lived in Penrith my whole life – born and raised as the saying goes. I’ve raised my family here and been a member of Council for 28 years. Both my father and grandfather were also local government representatives here. Penrith is in my blood. There is so much great about this City and our community, and it is understandable that change can be difficult and could create concern that we risk losing what sets us apart and makes Penrith, Penrith.
