Our global commitment Sustainable Development Goals We are committed to contributing towards the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We have adopted the SDGs and New Urban Agenda as cornerstones for our planning. In September 2015, Australia was one of 193 countries to commit to the SDGs. These goals provide a global roadmap for all countries to work towards a better world for current and future generations. To ensure we continue to support our community’s vision for a liveable, sustainable, inclusive global city, it is important that we apply this global framework.

These global goals are significant and will take time to achieve; however, it is important to recognise the steps we are taking to progress these goals. This is our second year reporting against the SDGs and it is our intention to continually improve our methods of reporting to help us achieve these global standards.
