Environment Matters

Our e-newsletter with a sustainability focus!

Environment Matters brings together our latest local environmental news, sustainability initiatives, community programs and practical tips to help residents make a positive impact. Stay connected with upcoming events, projects and inspiring stories that support a more sustainable region.

Each issue features a selection of regular columns that showcase the unique plants, wildlife and environmental initiatives of our region. Readers can learn about a Native Plant of the Month, discover a Threatened Species of the Month, and pick up practical advice from our Tricky Waste of the Month feature, which highlights common household items that require special disposal or recycling.

You’ll also find our popular Weed of the Month article from Council’s Biosecurity Officer, offering identification tips, management advice and reporting information, alongside updates on environmental events, community projects and opportunities to get involved throughout the year.
