The City of Ryde has experienced significant growth across the entire LGA, with increased development activities increasing the pressure on the existing infrastructure asset base, with the need for additional infrastructure being a key outcome of Council’s Community Strategic Plan. In 2020, the City of Ryde exhibited and endorsed a new Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS). The LSPS outlined the need for a collaborative approach to address the gaps identified as part of the current and future demand for infrastructure.

The draft Local Infrastructure Strategy will serve as a comprehensive framework for addressing infrastructure gaps, enhancing service delivery, and promoting resilience in the face of future challenges. The strategy outlines the challenges to be addressed to ensure appropriate management, future population growth and demand for infrastructure. The draft strategy incorporates the different needs of the City of Ryde Community in both the present as well as the needs of the future.

The draft Local Infrastructure Strategy identifies the following five main outcomes:

  1.  Collaboration - Creating partnerships to deliver key infrastructure within the City of Ryde
  2.  Alignment of factors - Align anticipated growth with land use zoning, infrastructure, and service planning to support future populations.
  3.  Maintenance of current asset base - Focus on revitalising assets to ensure the existing asset base is maintained to a satisfactory level.
  4.  Resilience and sustainability - Deliver and maintain resilient infrastructure using sustainability principles.
  5.  Innovation and Technology - Investigate and utilise innovative physical and virtual digital infrastructure to asset in asset planning and delivery.

This strategy (and the above outcomes) is intended to be flexible, and to be applicable to the unknowns of the future. They will be used as the key drivers of change for infrastructure within the Ryde Local Government Area.

The draft Local Infrastructure Strategy will be on public exhibition on Council’s website from 30 May 2024 to 30 June 2024 and Council invites you to provide feedback.
