Description:

The City of Sydney adopted its Environmental Management Plan on 25 June 2007 which establishes the environmental vision, targets and actions for Council and the local government area for:

  • energy and emissions
  • water
  • waste
  • plants and animals

There are 53 actions designed to reduce environmental impacts associated with Council and our community through demonstration, advocacy and partnership.

A summary of targets include:

  • 100 per cent offset of greenhouse gas emissions from Council operations and services by 2008. This includes a minimum 20 per cent reduction* of Council emissions by 2012 based on 2006 levels through energy savings measures.
  • 70 per cent reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from our local government area by 2050 based on 1990 levels.
  • 25 per cent of electricity used in our local government area to come from renewable energy by 2020.
