Sydney is a great place – and we want your help to make it even better. We want your neighbourhood to be a place where the environment matters, the economy thrives, arts and culture are encouraged, and people feel at home.
We invite you to have your say by answering a questionnaire and attending a community workshop in your village.
Your comments will help shape new Village Plans for Council’s consideration.
2030 in Your Village
Sustainable Sydney 2030 is the City of Sydney’s program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve the way our city functions, and make it a global centre for high quality jobs, retail, transport, entertainment and recreation.
Our villages and neighbourhoods are at the heart of this vision, as important to our city as the CBD. We want our villages to be places where you can walk or ride a bike for most of the shops and services you need, take time out in a leafy park or enjoy a community event.
We invite you to work with us to develop new village plans.
Sydney’s village groups
The City of Sydney has identified 10 village groups, many of which share a major main street. Village groups help us manage how we work to provide services and fairly allocate funding.
The 10 village groups are:
- CBD & Harbour
- Chinatown & CBD South
- Crown & Baptist Streets
- Glebe Point Road
- Green Square & City South
- Harris Street
- King Street
- Macleay Street & Woolloomooloo
- Oxford Street
- Redfern Street
Community workshops
Using your feedback, we have developed draft plans to discuss with you at a community workshop for each village group.
Come to your local workshop to discuss your ideas and work with us to develop priorities.

Next steps
Using comments from the workshops and other submissions, a village plan for each village group will be prepared for Council’s consideration and funding in future budgets. Council will consider the plans in an open meeting you can address.
These steps are just the starting point. We hope you will partner with us to building on our great City of Villages.
