The City of Mandurah is committed to protecting our natural environment – our waterways, our bushland and our atmosphere. 

We also strive to ensure that our actions always contribute to the wellbeing and aspirations of our community and its visitors without compromising the needs of future generations. We have made a genuine commitment to apply best practice throughout our business activities and take a leadership role in areas where we can make a difference to set an example to our community and stakeholders.

We focus our efforts on issues where activities have an environmental impact and strive to minimise or offset these impacts through appropriate actions, community and stakeholder engagement and business and industry collaboration.
