Strategic Planning

As part of our role, Council undertakes strategic planning for our communities. We do this across a range of fields, including land use, biodiversity, open space and infrastructure.

Strategic Planning in Wagga Wagga

Strategic land use planning enables us to identify and plan for certain uses in certain locations across the Wagga Wagga Local Government Area (LGA). Currently, Council’s Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS) provides the strategic direction for the Wagga Wagga LGA for the next 20 years.

Even though we will update the LSPS before 2040, the LSPS enables Council, the community and industries to understand what we want Wagga to be and how we are going to achieve it.
