Sustainability Plan for Ku-ring-gai
Council is currently developing a sustainability plan for Ku-ring-gai, to preserve our unique environment for future generations.
Sustainability Vision Report
The Sustainability Vision Report forms the foundation of Council's sustainability plan spanning 25 years from 2008-2033. This involved significant consultation with community members and Council. Citizens aged from 9-99 years of age shared their concerns and aspirations for the future from social, environmental, economic and governance perspectives. It is the intention of Council to align this long-term vision with its Management Plan in order to strategically address sustainability issues within Ku-ring-gai. This process of long-term planning is consistent with the directions of the NSW Department of Local Government.

Sustainability Action Planning
The development of an action plan as the next stage in Ku-ring-gai's sustainable planning is well underway. During May and June 2008 residents of all ages came together in a series of forums to share their ideas on how to make Ku-ring-gai a leading sustainable community. A total of 747 actions were suggested by participants. Preparation of a draft report is expected to be complete by October 2008.
Ku-ring-gai to Global DVD
To assist the development of the sustainability plan, Ku-ring-gai Council produced a DVD highlighting Ku-ring-gai's culture and its unique natural and built heritage. Local people of Ku-ring-gai participated in the production of the short documentary, sharing their thoughts and ideas on sustainability now and into the future.
Copies of the DVD are available at all Ku-ring-gai libraries. Requests for extra copies can be directed to:
