Key Initiatives <strong>2009</strong>-2010 Budget<br />
The <strong>City</strong> is experiencing an historic period <strong>of</strong> drought which is placing an array <strong>of</strong> pressures<br />
and threats on our natural environment and our environmental capital.<br />
The response has been to adopt the Sustainable Water Futures Policy to implement important<br />
water saving and drought recovery initiatives. Council has responded in a positive way to climate<br />
change with the Greenhouse Reduction Strategy adopted in December 2007, with key initiatives to<br />
be funded in <strong>2009</strong>-2010.<br />
