Our Plans
In addition to our Environmental Sustainability Action Plan (ESAP), Council has a range of supporting plans and strategies to ensure the sustainable future of Woollahra.
Carbon Reduction Strategy and Action Plan
Woollahra Council employed the services of sustainability consultants Kinesis to measure its Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and to develop a strategy and action plan to reduce and manage these emissions.
This project builds on the CCP program, Planet Footprint Reporting and Councils GHG action plan and sets out a target and strategies for Council to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2025.
Coastal Zone Management Planning
Woollahra is in the process of preparing a Coastal Zone Management Plan which will identify hazards and management issues related to our coastal zone, and propose management actions and an implementation schedule to address these.
