Thank you for asking your question.
Council is committed to environmental sustainability initiatives and tackling the impacts of climate change. Our 2020 - 2024 Strategic Plan includes a pillar dedicated to Environmental Leadership with key actions on increasing street tree canopy, implementing city wide waste and recycling improvements, community support to be zero waste and to adapt to climate change and to enhance the biodiversity of our Park Lands. The City of Adelaide was recently certified as a carbon neutral organisation and continues to provide incentives to businesses and residents to reduce their carbon footprint and energy use through our Sustainability Incentive Scheme. We have recently launched a program to provide assistance and advice to businesses to help them reduce energy use. Council is also working with other eastern metropolitan councils to implement strategies to adapt to the impacts of climate change through the Resilient East initiative. Included in our Draft 2021 - 2022 Business Plan and Budget is a City Greening Capital project and Whitmore Square Greening.
If you have any other queries please don't hesitate to get back in touch.
