Sustainability in Action showcases Council's achievements towards best practice in implementing sustainability.
Sustainability allows us to treat the environment, economy and society in a connected way. As the logo shows they are like the cogs in a machine where if one stops they are all impacted and the machine ceases to function correctly.
Council has decided to investigate the opportunity to use solar streetlighting whenever replacement or major repairs are needed to lights on Council owned land.
Since the 1st July 2010, Councils top 5 electricity consuming facitities (i.e. Administration Building, Kurri Aquatic Centre, 
Cessnock Library, Works Depot and Cessnock Pool) and power for streetlighting has switched to 10% greenpower. All other council facilities will also change to 10% greenpower over the next few months.
