The Strategic Planning Department is involved in the research, development and monitoring of strategies, projects, and programs within the City of Salisbury. It provides strategic advice and direction to Council through the integration of all core policy areas including economic, environmental, urban development and social.

It focuses on regional and neighbourhood land use and transport planning, maintenance of the Council's Development Plan, co-ordination of environmental management, major developments and/or special projects, and integrating them with plans for the provision of the necessary physical infrastructure. This involves examining the community's visions for Salisbury and developing mechanisms to achieve those visions through liaison with the community and other government authorities, managing cross-departmental teams within the organisation and developing capital works programs which reflect community needs
