Infrastructure Strategy and Planning

About the Division

The Infrastructure Strategy and Planning Division plays a critical role in shaping the future of Wollongong by planning, managing and optimising the infrastructure that supports our growing community.

Working at the intersection of strategy, data and delivery, the division develops and implements asset management plans that ensure Council's infrastructure is safe, sustainable and fit for purpose-now and into the future. This includes integrating climate resilience, sustainability and long-term lifecycle planning into how infrastructure is maintained, renewed and upgraded.

As Council's lead for infrastructure planning across the Local Government Area, the team works closely with operational service teams, contractors and key stakeholders to ensure plans are not only strategically sound, but practical, achievable and aligned to community needs.
