Cessnock City Council undertook a comprehensive program of community consultation activities in March 2010 in the development of Cessnock’s Community Plan, also called Cessnock 2020. This Plan will be the community’s plan for the future of the Cessnock local government area and it will provide the future directions for our community over the next 10 years.

Cessnock 2020 was developed from the information gathered during the consultation activities across the Cessnock area. It was important that every member of the community got involved and had their say about the future.

Cessnock 2020 was developed in line with five broad themes which have been identified through previous consultation activities as being priorities for the local community.
