Sustainability

We’re committed to a sustainable Stonnington, working together with our community to create a healthy future for us all.

On 17 February 2020, the City of Stonnington declared a climate emergency. We’ve stepped up our climate action commitments and are working to integrate sustainability in every aspect of council.

Find out what we’re doing, what we’ll do, and how you can help us to achieve our shared goal of zero carbon emissions by 2030.
