Second Nature

Waverley Council is working with staff and community to make sustainability second nature to achieve environmental targets, with behaviour, program and infrastructure solutions.
Events & programs

Waverley Council runs a host of environmental events, venues, festivals and engagement programs for schools, childcare centres, community groups and residents.
Water & coast

Managing water conservation and water quality as well as coastal risks are crucial for us keeping our marine, beach and coastal environments healthy.
Energy & climate change

Waverley Council aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions internally and across the community through energy efficiency, low carbon technologies and renewable energy.
Bushland & wildlife

Even though much of Waverley’s bushland and wildlife has been lost to intensive development, thousands of people continue to enjoy our magnificent rocky coastlines and beaches. The preservation of our precious little remnant bushland is central to maintaining our interaction with the natural environment and its effect on our health and well being. This page provides links to information on Waverley's natural landscapes, native plants, native animals, bushland management and pest animals.
Waste & recycling

Waste and recycling bin and collection services for Waverley residents and businesses.
Sustainable transport

Improving and promoting sustainable transport like cycling, walking, public transport is key to realising our overall environmental vision for Waverley.
Trees & gardens

Trees and gardens are valuable natural assets to the urban environment and provide many benefits to Waverley’s residents and the wider community.
