Council's Environmental Committment

Canterbury City Council strives to ensure a healthy, sustainable and improved environment in the City. We are achieving this aim by implementing a range of strategies. These include:

community-based environmental activities including community tree planting events and a rainwater tank rebate scheme
the integration of environmental management goals into all aspects of Council's operations, including a number of water-saving initiatives, and
the administration and enforcement of environmental controls and regulations to ensure that economic development is balanced against the need to protect and enhance the environmental values of the City.

Some of the measures we are undertaking address air quality and energy issues; environmental audits/assessments; water savings; foreshore and waterway management; and biodiversity.

We have two main waterways in our City - the Cooks River and Wolli Creek. Some of the measures we are undertaking to address the health and quality of our waterways include:

foreshore and waterway management;
biodiversity;
installation of Gross Pollutant Traps.

Council also aims to provide health services for our residents, work in partnership with organisations and individuals to promote a safe, harmonious and cohesive community, and support healthy lifestyles by providing leisure and recreational facilities and activities, including parks and the cycleway.
