Sustainability Strategy

We know the future isn't just somewhere we're going... it's something we're creating.

Council's Sustainability Strategy (Towards 2030)(PDF, 9MB) seeks to support our vision for a sustainable future by delivering key initiatives that will strengthen our community, environmental and economic resilience.

On this sustainability journey, Council will work together with our local residents, communities, businesses, industries and other levels of government to lead a variety of strategic actions via four pathways. Underpinning the pathways are key strategic priorities that will help the Rockhampton Region to prioritise a healthy natural environment, transition towards net zero emissions, create a climate resilient region and build a low-carbon circular economy.
