Consultation results now available

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on our Draft Climate Strategy 2050 Thrive. Design. Lead. Your input will help shape how Council will support, advocate and partner for an equitable and just community emissions transition to net zero by 2050, and by 2030 for our own operations.

We spoke to more than 150 people at our information stalls at Sutherland and Cronulla Libraries and Sutherland Farmers Markets. We also were part of the 2025 Youth Week Climate and Biodiversity Forum and held environmental group and stakeholder workshops. See images below.

Based on community feedback, we have made some updates as we finalise the Strategy. Changes have better embedded climate mitigation education, influence behaviour change, and ensure everyone in the community is supported to reduce emissions through:

• improved access to public and active transport
• recycling food waste
• electric vehicle charging
• solar, and battery storage.

The Strategy will be going to Council's July 2025 meeting for adoption. We will keep our community and interested participants updated of progress.
