2020 Vision
2020 Vision (5.7MB)
The 2020 Vision (Strategic Plan) is the shared vision of the North Sydney community for the year 2020. It is Council's most important strategic document.
The 2020 Vision was developed in 2004 following extensive community consultation. Community members, councillors, government and non-government stakeholders and staff - all worked together to identify the direction for North Sydney's future in this plan.
Progress towards achieving the Vision is reported every two years (see below). The targets to measure progress towards the Vision are reviewed following the local government elections every four years.
Reviewing the 2020 Vision in 2009
The 2020 Vision is currently under review in 2009. The review will look at the challenges and opportunities facing North Sydney and gather together our community's priorities for the coming years 2009-12.
The review also provides an opportunity for Council to transition its corporate planning to the Department of Local Government's Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework.
