Moorabool Sustainable Environment Strategy

Project Overview

Have your say and contribute to the development of Council's new Sustainable Environment Strategy.

In committing to our Community Vision 2030, Council recognises a need to review and update our Sustainable Environment Strategy. Our new strategy will reflect our community’s needs while creating an approach to the local environment and sustainability that is achievable and relevant for Moorabool.

The Sustainable Environment Strategy seeks to re-establish Council’s goals and priorities and re-focus action towards the future. A clear and achievable framework ensures that we can:

  • Protect and enhance ecological health and connectivity in Moorabool
  • Collaborate with our community and partners to foster greater environmental stewardship across Moorabool
  • Build a sustainable and climate-resilient Moorabool

Our first round of community consultation held in March 2023 focused on the themes that we should investigate as part of this strategy, at that point in time no actions had been proposed. Thanks to community feedback and direction we have made changes to the wording and intent of these themes and their goals which has pushed us to explore a number of possible actions. Considering the size of our Council area, resourcing and capabilities, the strategy aims to strengthen community and agency partnerships for improved environmental outcomes, encourages improved collection and analysis of data, and sets in place a framework to keep us accountable for our actions and progress against key measurables.

We have a big task ahead of us to manage our natural and built environment sustainably. But together with our partners and community, we can deliver sustainable outcomes into the future. We encourage you to share your feedback and contribute via the Survey found below. The opportunity to provide feedback closes 11:55pm AEST Monday 28 April 2025.

  • Initial Community Engagement/Feedback
  • Community Feedback Review and Draft Strategy developed
  • Draft Strategy Presented to Council
  • Draft Strategy Exhibited for Community Feedback
  • Council Endorsement of Final Strategy
  • Sustainable Environment Strategy Survey 2025

    This survey provides an opportunity for you to provide feedback on the actions proposed in Moorabool’s Draft Sustainable Environment Strategy.

    Actions in this strategy may affect the community directly or indirectly. As a result of the feedback provided, actions may be added, revised, reworded, or removed to address concerns.

    The strategy is a draft document and design elements will likely change between this and the final version. The purpose of this consultation is primarily in relation to the content, however feedback on design is welcomed.
