Community Strategic Plan Review 2024

Council is reviewing our Community Strategic Plan (CSP) to ensure to ensure it represents the shared vision of the Penrith Community. The CSP is the roadmap which Council uses as an overarching guide to shape Penrith into the City you want to live in – it’s how community vision is translated into action by Council.
