Over the past 18 months we’ve received lots of feedback and ideas about sustainability and the environment from people across our city. First, we brought them together in the Green City vision of Our Future Willoughby 2028. Now, we have created a 10-year strategic plan to deliver on that vision for our environment, Our Green City Plan 2028 (you can download the draft plan on the right of this page).
We want to know if we got it right. Get involved before Sunday 24th February so we can make sure that the community’s long-term vision and priorities for a sustainable city have been captured.
Ideally we would aspire to zero environmental harm however these goals have been developed based on Council’s level of authority and ability to influence.
To achieve the community’s vision of a Green City, as identified in Our Future Willoughby, four key themes have been developed:
- Reducing Carbon and greenhouse gases;
- Promoting sustainable lifestyles and practices;
- Enhancing, protecting and respecting waterways, bushland, nature, wildlife and ecological systems; and
- Reducing energy, water and resource waste.
To tell us what you think of Our Green City Plan 2028, you can participate below in a very short survey.
