what you told us
Green, global and connected
The Ten Strategic Directions, Objectives and 186 actions that Council is now implementing as Sustainable Sydney 2030 were informed by 18 months of consultation and engagement.
The consultation undertaken was the most extensive undertaken in the City’s history. The City held 41 events and consultation forums during the development of the 2030 Vision.
12,000 people were directly consulted, the 2030 website received more than 15,000 website visitors and 200 comments, and more than 2,000 comments were received through the Future Phone.
The City’s residential and business communities told us that they wanted an environmentally sustainable city; one in which people can feel at home and yet connected to the world; a city whose thriving economy positions it as a global centre of excellence, while supporting a rich and creative culture.
