What is the Long Term Plan?
The Long Term Plan is our roadmap for the next decade.
It brings together the services we provide every day from roads, parks and rubbish collection to libraries and community facilities. It includes the major projects and investments we think Arlen Hill will need in the future.
It also sets out how much this work is expected to cost and how we propose to fund it.
We review the plan regularly so we can respond to changes in our communities, our finances and the challenges facing our region.
Our priorities for the next 10 years
Resilient neighbourhoods
Extreme weather is changing the way we need to plan and invest.
We’re proposing to upgrade stormwater infrastructure, strengthen flood protection and improve the resilience of essential Council assets.
This includes targeted work in neighbourhoods that experience flooding during heavy rainfall and restoring natural areas that can help slow and absorb stormwater.
Proposed investment: $174 million over 10 years
Great places for people
Our libraries, parks, pools, sports facilities and community spaces play an important role in everyday life.
We’re proposing to renew existing facilities while investing in the places where population growth is creating greater demand.
This includes improvements to Arlenbury Civic Library, new neighbourhood facilities in North Arlenbury, upgrades to local parks and playgrounds, and improvements to accessibility across Council buildings.
Proposed investment: $118 million over 10 years
A greener future
We want to protect the natural environment that makes Arlen Hill a great place to live.
Our draft plan proposes further investment in urban tree planting, restoring waterways and wetlands, improving waste recovery and reducing emissions from Council operations.
We’ll also continue working with communities, landowners and environmental groups to protect native habitat and improve biodiversity.
Proposed investment: $76 million over 10 years

Previous research has indicated that citizens often don't feel safe cycling around Arlen Hill due to high levels of congestion and very few designated cycle routes, we aim to create a more accessible way to get everyone moving. What is being proposed? We are proposing to introduce a 1.7km cycle path that...
