Sustainability Leadership
Waverley’s new Environmental Action Plan (EAP) commits Council to be a leader in environmental sustainability through ambitious goals, leading controls and by embedding environmental sustainability into Council’s programs, projects and procedures.
This includes the Second Nature Environmental Education program, which provides support for the community to take and lead environmental action and adapt and respond to environmental change through key programs.
"We will continue to be a leader in climate action and strive to achieve our ambitious Net Zero emissions goals for our community and Council operations, while taking steps to respond to and prepare for changing climate impacts...
Tackling global environmental threats requires action through local systems such as transport use, waste generation and patterns of consumption, and Council cannot do this alone. We will continue to provide sustainability education to equip our community with the knowledge and resources they need. This includes business sustainability support, waste and recycling guidance, solar and electrification opportunities (including batteries), vegetation management and species information as well as grants to celebrate and support community-led environmental action.”
Will Nemesh, Mayor of Waverley
