Environmental Sustainability Review
Consultation has concluded
We're updating our city's plans to make Wollongong greener and protect our natural environment.
Our Environmental Sustainability Policy and Strategy outlines how we'll work to reduce our environmental impact and create a sustainable future.
We are reviewing these documents to make sure they reflect current issues and approaches to sustainability within the community, business and different levels of government.
You can help by telling us what environmental issues are important to you by posting your images and comments in our ideas tool.

Look after the rivers
- Like the Hacking in Otford. A large number of councils are part of a group called Riverkeeper. The poor Hacking River is Dying, it’s the river that feeds into the Royal National Park.

Support and be respectful of our coal miners and industry workers.
We need to remember that ‘today’ we all rely on coal and fossil fuel. ‘Today’ people in the Illawarra need jobs in the coal industry to feed their families. We should not polarise people, but work together. Until we have other solutions we need to work out how to decrease and offset our emissions whilst we support workers in the coal industry. Provide training, subsidies and new jobs through this transition phase from coal to non coal power.

Lower council rates for sustainable businesses/ farmers / homes etc...
Choosing the most ethical and environmentally friendly approach can be more time consuming and expensive than traditional practices. Encourage people who are attempting to improve our environment as they are doing it for all of us!
