The Vision
The 'Community Vision 2030' is the guiding document upon which all future planning decisions on economic growth, transport, housing, lifestyle and the environment will be based. It was adopted by Council in March 2009.

In all, five key thematic goals were distilled from the consultation process and form the basis of the Vision. These were that by 2030:

• We are a prosperous and learning community.
• Our built environment connects us and supports us in living sustainably.
• We are moving around easily, safely and sustainably.
• Our communities are healthy, informed and engaged.
• Our natural environment is protected and conserved for future generations.

The Draft 'Community Vision 2030' was drawn up following a wide-ranging series of wide-ranging public consultation activities including surveys, a telephone poll, creative arts competitions and workshops. The Draft was exhibited for public comment for two months; seven submissions were received and considered in the development of the final Vision.


The Plan
The Coffs Harbour 2030 Plan was adopted in December 2009 as a Community Strategic Plan for the whole local government area. It is driven by the Community Vision 2030 (see above).
