Strategy adopted by Council

Sutherland Shire Council received a significant amount of feedback during the public exhibition of the Draft Tree and Bushland Strategy.

We thank everyone who took the time to provide valuable input.

Council has carefully reviewed all submissions in detail and proposed a number of changes to the draft strategy where appropriate.

These changes aim to balance the diverse interests within our community and ensure a proactive and sustainable approach to tree management across the Sutherland Shire.

The amended strategy, along with a detailed report outlining the analysis of submissions and the recommended changes, was considered by Council at its meeting on 24th February 2025. This report is available via Council's website within the latest Planning Committee Business Paper.

The Tree and Bushland Strategy 2024-34 was then adopted by Council at its February meeting.

We appreciate your involvement in shaping this important document.
