2.5 Theme 5 – Sustainability Sustainability means making good use of all our resources, so that the decisions made today do not limit the choices of future generations. Many people think of sustainability as the ongoing viability of natural systems (air, water, energy, biodiversity) in a balanced relationship with human life. A changing climate threatens our future prosperity, environment and development. Without strong action globally, and at home, the projected impacts and costs of the changing weather patterns are significant. Projects specifically targeting a reduction in the communities or the City of Greater Bendigo’s impact on the environment, including direct carbon reduction initiatives, new projects to repair or reduce environmental damage, encouraging environmentally sensitive design and community leading initiatives that promote better community behaviour toward the environment, including waste reduction, are supported. Preserving Bendigo’s unique natural heritage of being a ‘city in a forest’ remains a priority. In the context of the Council Plan, built and natural assets and finances must also be managed in a way that is viable into the future. Services Service Unit Presentation and Assets Directorate Sustainable Environment Waste Services Building and Property Parking and Animal Control Description of services provided The Presentation and Assets Directorate provides and maintains high quality assets and services that help make the region a great place to live now while planning and delivering new assets and services to support Bendigo’s ongoing growth. Demonstrating environmentally responsible thinking and practices and encouraging this throughout the organisation and community is an important focus for the Directorate. The Sustainable Environment Unit provides a coordinated approach to the development of environmental policies, strategies, programs and processes to articulate clear directions to improve service delivery and enhanced environmental outcomes for the community. The Unit aims to reduce corporate carbon emissions, promote ecologically sustainable outcomes, identify effective and efficient directions for the management of municipal waste streams, and increase awareness of environmental matters. The Waste Services team provides the collection of garbage from domestic and commercial properties, collection and sorting of kerbside recycling, operation of landfills and transfer stations, street cleaning, and drain and pit cleaning. The Building and Property Unit ensures that the community assets (buildings and properties) are developed, upgraded, maintained and utilised to ensure the greatest benefit and lifestyle for the members of the community. Delivering Capital Works projects that meet the current community needs and for the future is also a key objective for the team. The Unit ensures that Council owned facilities, as well as other businesses, are safe for public use and ensures the public comply with relevant building codes and standards. The Parking and Animal Control Unit manages the City's Parking and Animal Services Program. This is to ensure safe and equitable use of parking resources, and to promote and maintain community safety, and public amenity and wellbeing in relation to the keeping of domestic animals and livestock.
