Project background

Council's Environmental Strategy is an overarching document that outlines environmental actions and targets to manage the City of Canada Bay’s sustainable and thriving environment.

The previous Environmental Strategy was adopted in 2020. Since then, an extensive review of the strategy and action plan has undertaken to ensure we continue to meet community expectations.

From 18 August - 2 October 2024 we asked for feedback to shape our new Environmental Strategy, and 125 community members outlined the environmental issues that matter to them. Key issues raised include climate change, biodiversity and litter/water pollution.

Tell us what you think about the draft strategy

Following community feedback, together with a review of Council priorities and analysis of the national and international climate and environment context, the theme ‘Resource Efficient Community’ from the 2020 Environmental Strategy has been split into two sections: Net Zero Community and Circular Economy. The purpose of this is to place greater emphasis on these areas.

We're now seeking feedback on the draft Environmental Strategy. A shorter, summarised version of the draft Environmental Strategy can be found in the snapshot document.

Feedback closes at 11:59pm on Sunday, 22 June 2025.

All feedback will be considered before a report on the draft strategy is presented to Council for consideration.

It is important to note that your submission may be published in reports, or other documents that are produced following the exhibition period and will be made publicly available upon request.
