Eco-friendly events

Council’s Sustainable Event Management Policy(PDF, 317KB) and Single-use Plastic Policy(PDF, 289KB) ensures single-use plastics (SUPs) are banned from both Council-run and externally run events on Council land. We support Council staff, residents and local event managers to find new ways to move away from single-use plastics.
