Environmental Education Strategy - Campbelltown City Council ...

Environmental Education Strategy 2009-2012in the Campbelltown area, and as such will help to determine future target areas forenvironmental education.The Strategy is focused on the Campbelltown Local Government Area (LGA) (seeFigure 1). This extends from Glenfield in the north of the city through to Wedderburnin the south. The Georges River provides both a physical edge to the urban areasalong the eastern side of Campbelltown, and also significantly contributes to theidentity of the LGA with 86% of the land area within LGA falling within the GeorgesRiver catchment. The LGA contains a significant amount of remnant bushland, andas such it is critical that the threats that urban development places on these areas beaddressed.This education strategy focuses on both the LGA as a whole, and also on keyenvironmentally significant areas within the LGA such as remnant bushland areas.This is because there are some issues that are specifically relevant to recreationalusers and residents in close proximity to bushland areas, and some issues that areequally relevant throughout the entire LGA. A holistic approach to mitigating localenvironmental impacts needs to consider both these options.Version 2.03 18/3/10Page 3 of 48
