Resilience and Biodiversity and Natural Systems

Council continued to increase biodiversity awareness to our community through our Bushcare, education and biodiversity plan programs. This included planting days and tree giveaways and partnership projects including tree canopy and management plans which contributed to Council’s tree canopy target of 40 percent by 2030. Implementation of the Greater Sydney Regional Weeds Management Plan continued through the monitoring of high-risk pathways and significant bushland assets to detect changes in weed growth.
