Byron Shire Council Sustainability Programs

Byron Shire is a hub of grass-roots sustainability. As humanity confronts resource shortages and the affects of accelerated climate change, local communities across Byron Shire continue to reduce their ecological impact and improve social and economic justice within their neighbourhoods and beyond. 

Council has also taken a proactive approach towards sustainability and is progressively reviewing many internal practices to improve corporate sustainability. Council also strives to support community initiatives in recognition of the value of local knowledge, culture and skills in journey towards sustainability.
