You now have more time to submit feedback on the CSP 2050

The closing date for submissions on the draft Community Strategic Plan (CSP) or Wagga Wagga 2050 has been extended until Friday 28 March 2025.

It gives residents more time to review the document and let us know if we are on the right track.

The CSP is Council’s highest-level plan and provides direction and focus for all future plans and strategies for the City of Wagga Wagga over the coming 20-25 years.

Throughout February and March this year, Council staff have been visiting multiple areas around our local government area to show our community the draft and ask residents if we got it right.

While our in-person public feedback sessions are complete, community members can still provide their input online.

Council’s Executive Manager, Regional Activation – Projects Christine Priest says this is the last chance to tell us your thoughts and have a say in our biggest plan for the future of Wagga Wagga and surrounds.

“The CSP is such an important plan, not just specific to Council but to the whole community and focuses on where we are headed,” Ms Priest said.

“Wagga 2050 provides a roadmap for the future of our area heading towards 2050 and is a result of strong collaboration and communication with our local community across the past two years.

“Based on community feedback, the proposed vision for the CSP is for Wagga Wagga to be a vibrant, growing, and sustainable regional city.

“These four key focus areas, Vibrant, Growing, Sustainable, and Regional Leader, will direct Council’s plans moving towards 2050.

“We are encouraging everyone to check out the plan before the end of the public exhibition period, which has been extended until Friday 28 March. This is not only so you can tell us if we missed anything, but also to see how your voices helped shape the future.”

Submissions can be made online through Council’s Have Your Say page or by contacting Council on 1300 292 442 or council@wagga.nsw.gov.au
