Planning the future environmental journey for Maitland

In the next year, Council will be reaching out to hear about what you want to see in our Environmental Sustainability Strategy, getting your ideas on how we can work together towards a greener Maitland.

In the next year, Council will be reaching out to hear about what you want to see in our Environmental Sustainability Strategy, getting your ideas on how we can work together towards a greener Maitland.

We will then roll out specific actions from this plan which will guide our sustainability journey. The plan will cover environmental sustainability challenges, goals and strategies like urban heat, renewable energy, circular economy, management of green and blue spaces, revegetation and wildlife corridors.

We have recently utilised technology to map all the trees in our City and hotspots of urban heat in our suburbs, and are looking at energy efficiency and renewable energy opportunities for Council buildings and for homes across Maitland with the results to inform the strategy and action plan.
