Council is seeking your feedback on the draft Environment and Sustainability Strategy 2035 (Strategy).
The draft Strategy was developed from early consultation with advisory and community groups, and an update to the State of the Environment Report.
The Mount Barker District Environment and Sustainability Strategy aims to set the direction for environmental action over the next decade to 2035. The draft Strategy reflects the evolving needs of our community, the urgency of local and global environmental issues, and our shared local commitment to becoming the most liveable region in South Australia.
The draft Strategy is structured around five interlinked themes:
climate change
nature and wildlife
township greening
integrated water management, and
waste to resources
Each theme will be supported by its own four-year action plan which will provide a coordinated approach to achieving long-term sustainability goals, ensuring actions are focused, measurable, and adaptable to emerging challenges and opportunities.
We want to hear from you
View the draft Strategy to read the Vision, Principles and Objectives aligned to the 5 themes. Targets are also included and have been set to be ambitious but achievable.
We welcome your feedback on any of the content contained within the draft Strategy but especially the Objectives and Targets.
