The Town is committed to the principles of environmental, social and economic sustainability, and is dedicated to achieving and promoting sustainable outcomes throughout its everyday functions and responsibilities.
Waste management, air, water and energy are all key local environmental issues that are also of significance at both a national and global level and the Town is proud to be involved in a number of programmes and initiatives to address these issues and meet the needs and expectations of our community.
The Sustainable Environment Plan provides a framework to progress the Town to a sustainable future. It concentrates on five focus areas being air, water, biodiversity, energy and waste management and whilst the Plan focuses primarily on the environmental component of sustainability, it is cognisant of the closely interconnected social and economic components. The Plan outlines the Town’s objectives for the next five years and what actions will be undertaken to achieve these objectives. The Town will engage, inspire and motivate the community to participate.
The Town has introduced an Environmental Grants programme to assist schools and community groups to carry out environmental projects and implement other environmental initiatives within the Town. Awards will be given to individuals and schools for their environmental achievements within the Town.
By working with our community, we aim to ensure the sustainability of the Town for future generations whilst meeting our current needs. Please do not hesitate to contact the Town if you are interested in getting further information on any of our environmental projects. Our dedicated Environmental Officer can be contacted on 9273 6543 or TTY 9273 6078.
