Sydney’s Hawkesbury City Council is asking residents for their ideas to help it build on its emissions reduction efforts and become a net-zero emissions organisation.<\/p>\n

Hawkesbury City is located on the north-western fringe of the Sydney metropolitan area and is the largest local government area in the Sydney metro region in terms of area (2,776 km\u00b2). Comprised of dozens of suburbs and localities, it has a population of approximately 67,000.<\/p>\n

Council says it is committed to becoming a net zero emissions organisation by 2050 – and sooner if possible. As part of\u00a0 the development of a Net Zero Emissions and Water Efficiency Strategy, Council has launched a short survey<\/a> that will contribute to the strategy and inform Council how it can assist the community in reducing household and workplace emissions.<\/p>\n
