Sustainable Travel & Transport
Sustainable Travel and Transport is a Sustainability Pillar in our Sustainability Strategy 2021 - 2031. The relevant key principle is: 'Sustainable or Green Transport aims to limit the reliance on diminishing natural resources that leave a high carbon footprint'. Our objectives related to this pillar are:
- Reduce the carbon footprint for the fleet of corporate vehicles
- Planning developments to include infrastructure and design considerations for alternate modes of transport
- Fund innovative technologies for sustainable and green transport options
- Promote programs that will see reduced reliance on fossil fuel transport
- Support adaptation to sustainable best practice transport options in the community

Some current and recent projects related to the Sustainable Travel and Transport pillar include:

- Our Councillors and staff have use of an e-bike to travel into town for meetings and appointments from the Shire Administration Building
- A commuter carpark is available just east of town on South Coast Highway, between the Shire Administration Building and the Denmark Country Club
