Wyndham City Council is committed to achieving long term environmental sustainability. This means taking steps to protect and enhance Wyndham’s natural assets, as well as taking responsibility for the municipality’s broader environmental footprint, which includes reducing water consumption and addressing the water quality of local waterways.
Through the ICLEI Water CampaignTM program and Melbourne Water’s Sustainable Water Use Plan Program, Wyndham City Council has put this commitment into action, adopting the following water conservation and quality goals:
- To reduce Council’s water consumption by 10% below 2002-03 levels by 2013, calculated on a per resident basis.
- To reduce household community water consumption by 15% below 2002-03 levels, by 2013.
- To undertake water quality actions totalling 50 points as outlined by the ICLEI Water CampaignTM Action Cards.
