Environmental Management
The City takes a strategic approach to environmental management to inform its resources, programs and activities. A number of City-wide strategic management plans form a consolidated environmental management strategy that shapes the City’s management practices and actions for the natural environment.
The management plans make recommendations for the ongoing maintenance, regeneration and development of facilities and the natural environment within the City.
