People across Glen Eira have told us they care deeply about the environment — our parks and gardens, our air and water, and the health of our streets and neighbourhoods.
03 Environmental stewardship
Protecting the environment is about more than just preserving nature — it’s about safeguarding our health, our future and our shared sense of place. We’re taking meaningful action on climate change, reducing waste, enhancing biodiversity and building a culture of sustainability across our community.
Over the next four years, we’ll work with residents, Traditional Owners, schools, businesses and environmental groups to restore ecosystems, reduce emissions and build resilience to climate impacts. We’re investing in green infrastructure, clean energy, water-sensitive design and waste reduction programs that benefit both people and planet.
What this means for our community
Environmental stewardship means creating a healthier, cooler and more liveable Glen Eira — now and for future generations. It means cleaner air and water, greener streets and more native plants and animals. It means sending less waste to landfill and supporting a circular economy that values reuse and regeneration.
Strategic objectives
Strategic objectives are the goals we’re working towards for our community. Each one is supported by strategies and plans that guide how we’ll get there — you’ll find links to those under each objective.
