Wyndham City Council acknowledges the Wathaurong, Woiwurrung and Boonwurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation as the traditional owners and custodians of the lands and waterways on which this city is being built.

IntroductionThis strategy for environmental sustainability is an active document, which sets the environmental agenda for our municipality until 2040. It provides short and long term pathways and targets as we endeavour to move toward a genuinely sustainable future.

Wyndham City Council’s Environmental FrameworkThe Environment and Sustainability Strategy sets the strategic direction for Council’s environmental management in the short term (2016-2020) and provides long term (2020-2040) visionary targets within three broad themes:

• Sustainable City –ProgressingtowardsasustainableCity.

• Valuing nature–Conservingandimprovingnaturalvalues,ruralareasandtheurbanenvironment.

• Council leadership –GuidingCouncil’sfunctionsandgovernance.

Sustainable CityOverview Rapid growth and urban expansion has led to a number of environmental challenges facing the City, including forecasted rises in greenhouse gas emissions, growing congestion on road networks, increases in waste generated and gaps in planning for a changing climate. In order to address these changes a collaborative approach with community, regional groups, business and government agencies is required to achieve consistent and broad reaching improvements that will provide benefits to Wyndham and the surrounding area.

Valuing NatureOverview Wyndham is home to a number of significant waterways, wetlands, coastal areas and native grasslands, including the Werribee River, Little River, Skeleton Creek, the coastline, Truganina Cemetery remnant grassland, Point Cook Coastal Park and Western Treatment Plant Wetlands. The security of these significant sites cannot be taken for granted as most native vegetation types they support have been cleared elsewhere and are now classified as endangered, vulnerable or depleted.

Council LeadershipOverview As an organisation which provides multiple and varied services including; buildings, open spaces, facilities and community events, Wyndham is in a position to role model and showcase environmental principles and practice across a broad range of functions. With residents accessing facilities and events on a regular basis, there are many opportunities to inspire and share learnings on enhancing the environmental benefits of building design and operational programs which the community can adopt and use in homes and businesses. Further, embedding a more sustainable approach to how we operate our facilities will result in a longer life of assets and significant long term cost savings in relation to energy and water use.

Appendix B: Target Baselines and measurement Baseline information has been provided as an indication of Wyndham’s progress at the time of preparing the Strategy. Most baseline information is sourced from the 2014/2015 financial year –being the last complete year prior to this Strategy. In some cases baseline data relies on information gathered periodically by state or federal agencies and the most recent data may be older. There are also some cases where baseline information has yet to be established. If no date or year is specified then the baseline information should be considered as current as of January 2016.
