The initiatives are all part of the council’s draft Operation Plan 2023/24, of which $57.2 million is proposed to be spent on a detailed capital works program.
The plan, which is on public exhibition until June 21, “is not only today, but for future generations,” Mayor Bilal El-Hayek said.
He said it would continue to deliver the services and facilities the community expected with a continued focus on waste collection, street cleaning and park and road maintenance.
“I will ensure that those living here, maintain a high quality of life, as we continue to grow and prosper,” Mayor El-Hayek said.
“That’s why the council’s long-term plans are so important.
“They must aspire to the needs of current and future homeowners, residents and businesses without compromising the high standards of governance, financial stewardship and leadership necessary for an organisation of this size, scope and reputation.”
The council’s draft $57.2 million capital works program consists of $8 million on upgrades to community buildings and leisure and aquatic facilities; $11 million on road, car park, bridge and traffic upgrades; $7.7 million on parks, playgrounds and sporting facilities; $2 million on water quality improvements; and $4 million on town centres.
Some projects being proposed include a city-wide road rehabilitation program, more tree planting, a Towards Net Zero Emissions Plan, sporting facility upgrades at The Crest, Bass Hill, and planning for new Campsie Cultural Hub, Panania Library and Knowledge Centre and the Roberts Park Community Hub.
