Draft Sustainability Strategy 2022-2031

Consultation has concluded

The Sustainability Strategy 2022-2031 replaces the existing Sustainability Strategy 2016-2020 and seeks to build on the achievements and outcomes delivered during this period. The Strategy recognises the importance of taking a holistic approach to planning for the future of Maroondah, including the environmental, social and economic aspects of our community.

The world has changed significantly since the previous strategy was developed in 2016, with COVID-19 significantly impacting our lives, supply chains, and shifting focus to living locally. We have also experienced first hand the impact of significant weather events causing property and infrastructure damage and power outages. The draft Sustainability Strategy 2022-2031 has been developed to place Maroondah in a strong position to address issues of sustainability, including climate change, supporting the transition to a green economy, building social connections, and recovering from COVID-19.

Developing the draft Sustainability Strategy

The draft Sustainability Strategy 2022-2031 was developed following two years of review, research and stakeholder consultation. The draft Strategy takes an evidence-based approach to identify and inspire holistic opportunities to further improve sustainability within Maroondah.

The consultation process included the release of an Issues and Options Paper for community feedback in August 2021, and engagement with the Maroondah Environment Advisory Committee. Community feedback regarding environmental, social and economic sustainability was also captured from consultation processes for the Children and Families Strategy; Youth Strategy; Liveability, Wellbeing and Resilience Strategy; and the COVID-19 Recovery Strategy.
