On overview of Council's responsibility and commitment to protecting plants and animals within the local governement area (LGA).
The responsibilities of Local Government for biodiversity conservation have been established under the NSW Biodiversity Strategy. Council has commenced the planning and implementation of biodiversity conservation in the LGA through a variety of mechanisms, including the development of a draft biodiversity conservation framework and engagement of a consultant to prepare a draft biodiversity toolkit for the LGA. Biodiversity conservation principles underpin the strategic plans of Council (including the implementation and development of Conservation and Development Strategies and Catchment Management Plans). Further, continued refinement and implementation of biodiversity conservation tools shall be pursued such that Councils obligations and responsibilities in this regard can be achieved.
