Illawarra Sustainability Roadmap

The Illawarra Sustainability Roadmap is the start of the journey for Kiama, Shellharbour and Wollongong councils to work together to embed the consideration of sustainability into all areas of council, including decision-making, processes, planning, reporting and operations. This Project has been assisted by the New South Wales Government through its Environmental Trust.

Several activities are being undertaken with staff from all sections of each council which resulted in two guiding documents:

• the Illawarra Sustainability Roadmap includes a comprehensive review of each council's current approach to organisational sustainability and a set of sustainability indicators to measure sustainability over time
• the Illawarra Sustainability Action Plan is in preparation, it will include specific strategies for each council to embed in an effort to make all Council decisions, processes, planning, reporting and operations more sustainable
