Environment

Approval to create air pollution

Our municipality has a no burn policy, where we'll only consider applications to burn piles of vegetation from rural property owners.

Biodiversity

Discover what we do to maintain biodiversity including our native wetland and garden rehabilitation projects, and work to protect threatened and endangered flora and fauna.

Climate change

What we're doing to reduce the impact of climate change with energy saving projects and long-term plans.

Environmental reports

Our environmental reports include State of the Environment, Waste Depot Surface, Geroa and Minnamurra Waste Disposal Depot sampling reports.

Flood studies

Our flood studies define the behaviour of flooding in catchment areas and identify flood-prone land when storm events occur.

Report pollution

Who and how to report different types of air, noise, and land pollution.

Underground Petroleum Storage Systems

Underground petroleum storage systems (UPSS) must be registered with Council, and have systems in place to prevent, report, and fix leaks if they happen.
