2042: Your Future - Community Strategic Plan

What do you want Kempsey to be?

We have heard from over 1700 community members over the last 5 years about their vision for Kempsey Shire to 2042.

Council Adopted the 2042: Your Future - Community Strategic Plan at the April 2022 Council Meeting.

The Community Strategic Plan, 2042: Your Future, is designed to outline the community’s hopes, aspirations and dreams for the Kempsey Shire. It is a statement of our community’s plan and vision of what we want Kempsey Shire to be in 20 years.

It all starts with the vision

The 2042: Your Future vision statement was crafted by bringing together the priorities, visions and strengths identified by the community and framing it in plain language that is memorable and unique to our shire.

From the mountains to the sea,
our people are given the opportunities and infrastructure
to build a safe, prosperous and welcoming community.
Marrungbu.

Delivered through four key strategies

To achieve our vision for the future, our community is committed to four focus areas:

  • Enhancing And Protecting Our Natural And Built Environment
  • Boosting And Evolving Kempsey Shire’s Prosperous Economy
  • Creating And Celebrating A Supportive, Connected Community
  • Valuing, Informed Leadership That Engages And Inspires The Community
