(CIP) is a critical link in the City’s Strategic Planning Framework, guiding the allocation of City resources toward the achievement of key economic, social, environmental and community aspirations. The purpose of the Community Infrastructure Plan is to; • Guide the development, timing, design and location of community infrastructure over the next 10 to 15 years; • Clearly identify the services and facilities required for the City’s emerging population, based on supply and demand analysis, and identification of service catchments; • Specifically identify the capital costs associated with proposed community infrastructure to facilitate integration with the City’s Business Plan; • Meet the requirements of State Planning Policy 3.6, providing a robust basis for the City’s Development Contribution Plan; and • Provide the City with a documented framework of community infrastructure planning principles and guidelines. The City has a finite amount of land and resources, and cannot deliver all community infrastructure immediately. The CIP is used as a tool to transfer information to the Business Plan with a prioritised approach, rationalised by the application of community infrastructure planning principles and needs assessments. While community infrastructure planning principles and provision guidelines are the primary measure to determine project need and priority, the Implementation Plan to deliver these projects is guided both by project-specific dependencies and the financial capacity of the City’s Business Plan to be able to reasonably deliver the infrastructure. The City’s Strategic Development Framework Policy requires the annual update of the CIP. The purpose of the annual review is to enable its adaptation to reflect current changes in community needs and trends as well as specific project circumstances. The review provides ongoing commentary on the development progress of major community infrastructure projects to be delivered over the next 10 to 15 years. This is intended to ensure that the CIP reflects the ongoing rigour applied to the planning process, significantly reducing the likelihood and impact of rapid project scope and
