2025 Statement - Where we will be

There is an integrated environmental sustainability framework that sets out Council's environmental goals and responsibilities now and into the future. The framework is a policy document that ensures that Council's commitment to be environmentally sustainable is turned into action. The framework allows Council to move towards its goal of being a carbon-neutral organisation and of becoming a best-practice model for other organisations. The framework recognises the links between the long term wellbeing of our community and our environmental responsibilities.
