Living Holroyd: A Sustainable Future
The action plan Living Holroyd: A Sustainable Future, adopted by Council on 2 December 2003, is a single strategic plan for the Holroyd City Council area linking social, economic and environmental issues which will also inform Council’s management plan as that plan goes through its annual review.
Strategies identified in the action plan are about changing behaviour at a corporate, community, household and personal level – encouraging local action on global issues.
History of Living Holroyd
Holroyd City Council resolved to prepare a Local Agenda 21 action plan together with the local community in February 2001.
Local Agenda 21 comes from the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, which was held in Rio de Janiero and is a program designed to implement sustainable development at the local level.
Council recognises that it cannot achieve sustainability on its own and as such undertook a consultation process with the community. The information obtained from the consultation process was used by the Living Holroyd Steering Committee, consisting of local residents, Councillors and Council staff, to formulate a shared Council and Community vision and develop the action plan.
The action plan builds on the good work already being done and has incorporated actions and priorities identified in past policies, plans and programs, including:
- Environmental Management Plan 2000-2004
- Local Air Quality Management Plan 2001
