4.6. Benefits of a Liveability Strategy approach

With the anticipated population growth in the Parkes Shire due to the Special Activation Precinct, it is important that we plan now for the needs of communities to maintain and improve the liveability outcomes.

The Parkes Liveability Strategy will allow Council to better understand what people love about living in Parkes Shire and measure key liveability indicators to better understand what can be done to improve our place, community and everyday quality of life.

Parkes Shire Council is preparing other new strategies dealing with open space, transport, community services, neighbourhood planning and urban design projects, which will all benefit from the Place Score census platform and further community consultation through the Parkes Liveability Strategy project.

Other government agencies, community groups and businesses are interested in learning more from Parkes Shire residents about their needs into the future.

Without a Liveability Strategy, there is less information to quantify what residents want in the Parkes Shire.
