Living Environment Strategy

When we protect the environment, we also protect the health, economic and social wellbeing of future generations. We’re raising awareness, supporting community-based projects, delivering environmental programs and working with other levels of government to protect and enhance our local environment and our quality of life.

Our Living Environment Plan

The Living Environment Plan forms part of our Strategic Management Framework. It guides the services, programs, and projects that we plan to deliver to achieve the Clean and Green City goal of our City Vision. This plan builds on the previous achievements of the Living Environment Strategy 2017–2022 and provides direction for the next five years.

The Living Environment Plan is complemented by a suite of three PAE delivery plans.

• The Climate Response Plan outlines how we will reduce emissions, strengthen resilience and consider climate in decisions
• The Integrated Water Management Plan outlines how we will transition towards a water sensitive city
• The Urban Greening and Biodiversity Plan outlines how we'll improve canopy cover, urban forest health, and help nature thrive in urban areas
