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.

Urgent tree planting to cool city streets & soften hard surfaces + tree planting on Council nature strip in suburbs.
Just returned from a trip to China where they are planting trees like there is no tomorrow- on every street along freeways, climbers on concrete bridge supports. Tree farms everywhere. We need to do a lot better - and now while it is cool enough to get established. If you need help ask for volunteers. We must replace what is lost through over development.
