Our Strategic Directions

“Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision is just passing time. Vision with action can change the world.

The Newcastle Community Strategic Plan reflects the community’s vision for the city and is our guide for action. It tells us what we are striving to achieve, the strategies we are using to achieve it and the outcomes that will indicate we have reached our goals.

Our Community Strategic Plan contains

  • Seven strategic directions that we want to move towards
  • Twenty three objectives we want to achieve over the next ten years
  • Strategies for achieving our goals

The seven strategic directions emerged from the shared planning process. All of these qualities work together. They are the vital connections in a visionary plan to meet the social, economic and environmental goals we need to build a resilient city. An adaptable community is better equipped for the challenges of the future with a long term vision bolstered by clear sustainable guidelines.
