Strategy Vision
To support and encourage an environmentally sustainable community today and for future generations.

Our Environmental Sustainability Strategy 2022-2026 provides a sharper sense of direction and action, with a tighter and more concise presentation of 4 year performance indicators and the inclusion of long term goals.

The Strategy has been prepared to be an easily shared guide for Council and our partners, including the community, to work towards its vision and long-term targets for environmental sustainability and subsequent community wellbeing.
