Publication of the Community Infrastructure Audit
Council has completed an audit of community infrastructure, and the results have now been published.
The Community Infrastructure Audit is the first major output of the Community Infrastructure Strategic Plan (CISP) Review and provides an overview of the provision, distribution, condition and use of open space and community facilities across the Shoalhaven.
Council engaged with key stakeholders and the community to help inform the Audit, and summary reports from those engagement activities have also been published.

The 637 facilities are grouped into 5 Themes or ‘Asset Typologies’:

The 50 towns and villages have been grouped into 5 Planning Areas and 22 Planning Districts.

The Audit report in context
The Audit report is a working reference document that provides evidence to help inform the CISP Review.
Due to the large number of in-scope facilities, minor errors may be present for some sites. Any errors will be corrected periodically throughout the CISP Review process.
