City Plan & Budget
Our City Plan and Budget for 2011-12 was adopted by Council at its meeting on 26 May 2011. Whilst we consult our community often on a wide range of issues and services, this year we have listened particularly carefully to what people have said about their priorities and goals for life and work in the City of Canterbury through our 'Imagine Canterbury' community engagement program.
Highlights of Council's activities for the coming year will include:
- $3 million on improvements to roads, parks, town centres, and footpaths as part of our Infrastructure Renewal Program;
- a five year program to resurface concrete roads, improving their driving surface and appearance, with Town Centres such as Beamish and Haldon Streets being the first priorities;
- improvements to water quality in the Cooks River, installing treatment facilities for storm water, installing rainwater tanks, and removing litter;
- implementation of our Economic Development Strategy to increase local jobs, improve industrial precincts, attract business investment, and facilitate local skill development;
- the $8.5 million redevelopment of Belmore Sports Ground that will enable Canterbury Bulldogs to resume training and administrative duties at their spiritual home, and once again see Belmore Sports Ground as the premier sporting field in our district, as well as the permanent home ground of NSW Premier League football team Sydney Olympic.
These are just a few of the major activities planned - there are many more that Council undertakes to improve the quality of life for people living and working in the City of Canterbury.
You can view or download the adopted plans, which include:
- the Community Strategic Plan identifies the long-term goals our community has for life and work in the City of Canterbury and strategies to achieve them;
