Sustainable Council

Boroondara is committed to leading by example in creating a sustainable city.

Policies and strategies

We have a number of policies and strategies to support key areas of environmental sustainability. These strategies help guide how we operate and the projects that we implement to make our city and its services more sustainable.

In June 2009, Council endorsed Our Low Carbon Future - City of Boroondara Strategy with a strong leadership approach to minimise our contribution to dangerous climate change.
