Land and Nature
Land and Nature is a Sustainability Pillar in our Sustainability Strategy 2021 - 2031. The relevant key principle is: 'We will protect and enhance our natural systems that are vital to the sustainability of our local community'. Our objectives related to this pillar are:
- Implement responsible and sustainable practices through policy development and land-use planning
- Prioritise protection of natural bushland habitats and ecosystems, including protection of waterways for nutrient control in agriculture, salinity control, riparian vegetation
- Revegetate and rehabilitate degraded environments
- Support provision of education to the broader community on protection of the natural environment

- A series of Plant Propagation educational films were produced with our expert Revegetation Officer Mark Parre (retired). Please visit our Environmental Education page for more information.
