Our key policies
Our key climate and energy policies are the Climate 2020 Action Plan and Securing the Future Adaptation Plan, which seek to reduce emissions and encourage people to adapt to our changing environment.
Through action 5.1 of the Securing the Future Adaptation Plan, we have also developed the Manningham City Council Food Security Plan 2016-2021. The plan aims to assist in creating a sustainable food system that allows economic and physical access to locally sourced food for individuals and businesses. It also provides the capacity for readily obtaining information for decision making that leads to healthy food choices.
You can also read about how we are leading sustainability action in our Annual Environment Report for 2020.
