On 24 June 2020, Council adopted the Wingecarribee Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS) and the Local Housing Strategy (LHS). Subsequently a Notice of Motion was put forward in an ordinary Council meeting on 12 August 2020, to review the two strategies particularly in relation to the new living areas in Colo Vale.

The LSPS and the LHS have now been reviewed to remove the Wensleydale property and include the two sites within Colo Vale, identified from the exhibition between March and May 2020 into the Local Housing Strategy and Local Strategic Planning Statement, and are on exhibition for a period of six (6) weeks.

The strategies provide a 20 year land use vision for Wingecarribee Shire, and a planning framework to meet the economic, housing, social and environmental needs of the community.
