Making sustainability ‘second nature’

Second Nature is Council’s call to action for achieving our community environmental targets. By encouraging our community to align personal actions with positive environmental outcomes, we can all make a difference together.
Networks & Support

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.
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.
Responding to Climate Change & Energy Emissions

Global climate change is causing more frequent and extreme weather events, loss of wildlife and economic impacts. Waverley Council is committed to action to respond and manage these risks and protect our environment and community for future generations.
