Strathfield Council has adopted its long term plan for the future of the Municipality - Strathfield Vision 2020. The Strathfield Vision 2020 has been developed to provide a preferred vision of the Strathfield community by the year 2020.
It is one of the most important working documents Council has ever produced and articulates Council's long-term desirable future and a common direction for the municipality. It ensures that as an organisation Council is better prepared for the challenges the next 20 years will bring.
Key directions of the vision include:
- Communications achieving a quantum shift in our communications so that we are a leading council in Australia in communications performance. Our focus will be on improving communication with our community. We will also improve communications within council and communications with other government bodies.
- Financial resourcing maintaining and improving our position as one of New South Wales top performing councils in financial management and our ability to deliver services to our community in the long term.
- Sustainable development embracing sustainable development principles, so that our growth delivers a balance of social, environmental and economic outcomes for our community.
- Strategic planning developing a mature strategic planning culture excelling in strategic planning and decision-making.
- Staff development building and developing our high quality staff so that we are an employer of choice in local government in Australia.
- Integrated transport achieving a balance between transport modes including motor vehicles, public transport, cyclists and pedestrians.
- Marketing adopting the marketing concept philosophy, which is to know the needs of our community and make decisions to satisfy those needs.
- Community building giving greater emphasis to community building and diversity, including community facilities, community events, and community involvement.
