Tell us your vision for the future of Cumberland

August 2024 consultation:

The Community Strategic Plan (CSP) is our long-term plan for our city, created by the community of Cumberland. The CSP reflects the community's long-term vision for the future of Cumberland. The Council must review the CSP every 4 years, following an ordinary election of Councillors. In preparation for the upcoming 2024 Council elections, we've started the process of reviewing and updating our CSP. Any changes to the CSP must be adopted by Council by June 2025.

Our strategic current goals, as identified by the community are:

Supporting community health, safety and wellbeing
Enhancing the natural and built environment
Delivering sustainable infrastructure and services
Providing local leadership

Now it is up to you!

We asked our community to complete our survey and let us know:
