2020 community engagement
See the original community engagement in 2019-2020 used to develop the Sustainability policy, strategy and community education.
Our goal is to be a ‘Sustainable City’. Everyone has a part to play in achieving that goal.
In 2019-2020 community thoughts, ideas and feedback informed the framework for the Sustainability Strategy. It also provided direct input to the ‘Sustainable Ipswich’ program of events, workshops and activities held by council and community partners.
The Sustainability Strategy details how we will increase our existing efforts and implement new actions to make Ipswich a more sustainable place to live as we continue to grow. It provides direction for how we will deliver, partner and advocate for effective sustainability outcomes.
