Our residents have told us that protecting our river, creeks, waterways and bushland areas is a high priority. They also want support to use materials, energy and water resources efficiently. We're home to a diverse range of native species and ecological communities, including about 17% of the remnant vegetation of the Cumberland Plain, the highest proportion within any council area. To manage our environment for future generations we must balance growth with the need to preserve our natural environment, support agriculture and build on our local fresh food production and other rural activities.
