Community Action Plan
The Griffith Community Action Plan has been prepared by Griffith City Council in consultation with the community, service providers, Government and non-Government agencies.
The Griffith Community Action Plan is a working document that reflects some of the social issues impacting our community. It offers some very clear challenges for Council as well as many of the agencies and businesses in Griffith. The aim is to ensure the effective implementation of action items of the Community Action Plan (CAP).
The Griffith Community Action Plan can assist in guiding local service providers, Government and non-Government agencies in examining and addressing the needs of the Griffith community. It can also support agencies to work collaboratively in meeting some of the needs.
The CAP also addresses the NSW state legislative requirement for social and community planning by briefly reporting on the seven mandatory target groups identified by the Department of Local Government. In addition, the CAP also recommends strategies and actions to address the identified needs of those target groups.
Since its inception, the Community Action Plan focused on 3 core community issues. Community Harmony and Development; Safety and Crime Prevention and Employment and Workforce Participation. This resulted in the development of 12 goals; 14 community issues and 40 strategies.
This Griffith Community Action Plan is a strategic document which includes:
-
A review of the previous Social and Community Plan
-
Development of a Crime Prevention Plan
-
A template for Griffith City Council’s revised corporate plan
-
A consultation tool kit for whole community use
-
Alignment with the Aboriginal Social Action Plan
In developing this Plan agencies have provided input to support the delivery of projects and strategies outlined, and this has provided the opportunity for integrated planning and delivery of services.
Griffith City Council is grateful to each of the Working Party members and the Coordination Group members for providing information, time and guidance. Special thanks is also extended to the Department of Premier and Cabinet for assisting in the alignment of the Griffith Community Action Plan to the NSW State Plan objectives.
