In addition to reducing emissions from its own operations, Council has declared a climate emergency and partners with other councils and organisations to act on climate change.
While emissions from Council operations may only represent about 1% of total emissions from all activity in the shire, Council action to reduce emissions changes its emissions profile and informs future works to target emission sources.
