Environment
Mansfield Shire Council recognises its responsibility as custodian of community resources. We aim to achieve maximum benefit to the community from all our resources while valuing and enhancing our natural environment. The environment has been recognised as a key strategic area to achieve our vision for the Mansfield Shire.
Mansfield Shire Environment Committee
Status of this Committee was changed, by Council Resolution on 17 January 2012, from a Special Committee of Council to an Advisory Committee. Council will shortly call for expressions of interest for membership to this new Advisory Committee.
The Mansfield Environment Advisory Committee will work towards more effective and efficient projects and on-ground delivery. It will also inform and guide decision making by Council in relation to environmental management issues and sustainable development within the Mansfield Shire. It will also ensure Council is undertaking and promoting environmental conservation and sustainable resource use practices so that the natural and rural assets that provide the economic basis of Mansfield Shire can be enjoyed and utilised by future generations.
