City of Stirling Strategic Community Plan

Our commitment to sustainability

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals In 2015, Australia was one of 193 countries throughout the world to commit to enacting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. At its heart are 17 Global Goals to address the social, economic and environmental elements of sustainable development, which provide a roadmap towards a better world for current and future generations.

Implementation of the goals is not only the role of local governments. Other levels of government, businesses and our local community all have a role. Working together on collaborative action will ensure a greater focus and positive contribution towards sustainability. Sustainable Stirling 2022–2032 is a plan to achieve the goals relevant to our City and our community, as part of this wider global effort.

The City of Stirling has identified an initial set of indicators within Sustainable Stirling 2022–2032 that align to these Sustainable Development Goals. These will help us focus our efforts on the areas where we can have the most impact. We will use these indicators to track our performance, learn from others and measure our success over the life of this Plan so that the City of Stirling can work together with our community to make a positive contribution towards Australia’s global commitment.
