Community’s Vision For Penrith Endorsed
Penrith City Council has adopted a comprehensive suite of strategic planning documents that will shape the City’s future to 2041 and beyond.
These documents are based on extensive community consultation and follow a four-week public exhibition period.
The endorsed Integrated Planning and Reporting (IP&R) documents align the community’s aspirations and goals for Penrith with clear actions, projects and resources – laying the foundation for long-term, financially sustainable growth.
Penrith Mayor Todd Carney thanked the community for their valuable input and insights throughout the development of the documents and during the public exhibition period, and emphasised the significance of the plans in guiding Council’s work over the coming years.
“These plans have been shaped by our community and will be our roadmap to follow to ensure we can meet the needs of our growing population while staying true to our community’s vision for a liveable, inclusive and vibrant city.”
Penrith City Council General Manager Andrew Moore said the strategic plans reveal the far-reaching scope of Council’s work, both planned and in the pipeline, and reflect the organisation’s commitment to responsible planning and transparency.
“This is a critical time for Penrith and I’m proud to lead an organisation that is stepping up to seize the opportunities and meet the challenges that come with being in the centre of one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions,” Mr Moore said.
“This comprehensive suite of documents provides us with a clear understanding of our community’s aspirations and expectations for their City and outlines how Council will deliver on our commitments whilst managing our budget responsibly.”
The adopted documents include:
• Penrith 2041+ Community Strategic Plan – A 15-year vision that reflects the aspirations of the community.
• 2025-29 Delivery Program including the 2025-26 Operational Plan – A four-year roadmap to implement the Community Strategic Plan, with detailed actions for the coming year.
• 2025-35 Resourcing Strategy – A 10-year plan to ensure Council has the people, budget, technology and infrastructure needed to meet its commitments.
• 2025-26 Fees and Charges – A comprehensive list of fees and charges for Council services.
All adopted documents will be available on Council’s website within 28 days, in accordance with Section 406 of the Local Government Act 1993. For more information, visit yoursaypenrith.com.au/penrith2041.
