5 Liveability Strategy Objectives

The Parkes Liveability Strategy aims to:

• Measure liveability in the Parkes Shire using the liveability themes used in the Place Score Liveable Neighbourhood Survey.

• Better inform Parkes Shire Council and other government organisations and community groups on the community’s views on the liveability of the Parkes Shire and insights on how liveability could be improved in the Parkes LGA.

• Shape the policies and directions of Council’s Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework.

• Track the progress of change and development in Parkes Shire, based on liveability themes and outcomes.

• Realise the benefits of more informed community based planning and decision making.
