Sustainability relates to our home - the City of Canning - and the larger planet earth. In order to make sure we live good, sustainable lives, we need to understand how sustainability works now and into the future.

The City’s objectives regarding sustainability are:

  • To raise community and organisational awareness of sustainability and understanding of their responsibilities;
  • To educate and demonstrate sustainability principles to the community and organisation; and 
  • To support and enable the community and organisation to be change makers and take action to embed sustainability within the City of Canning and its systems.

In order to meet these objectives, the City has developed and continues to implement a Strategic Sustainability Program (Corporate) and City Sustainability Initiatives (Community).
