The City is committed to caring for our environment for current and future generations. We do this with strategies that outline our goals and guide our work on the ground.
Community programs and consultation with an advisory group also allow us to share the guardianship of our environment with all of Mandurah. Our youth programs help to arm future generations with the tools to face current and emerging challenges.
