State of the environment report
Muswellbrook Shire Council State of the Environment Report reports on the status of the main environmental issues facing Muswellbrook Local Government Area. The State of the Environment report is structured around six major themes:
- Towards sustainability
- Human settlement
- Land
- Atmosphere
- Water
- Biodiversity
Local government plays a significant role in environmental management. A local State of the Environment Report provides a summary of the attributes of the local government environment and the human impacts on that environment. It also provides a public record of the activities of government, industry and the community in protecting and restoring the environment. Local State of the Environment Reports do not stand alone and should be integrated with environment management and strategies. State of the Environment Reports assist Councils in managing their activities to improve their environmental performance.
