State of the Environment Reports


The Northern Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (NSROC) is comprised of seven councils (Hornsby Shire, Hunter’s Hill, Ku-ring-gai, North Sydney, Lane Cove, City of Ryde, and Willoughby City) in the northern part of Sydney which have voluntarily come together to address regional issues, work co-cooperatively for the benefit of the region, and advocate on agreed regional positions and priorities. All of these councils work closely with their communities and state and federal counterparts to ensure that the environment is managed appropriately and in a sustainable manner, and the benefits of the environment are recognised and protected.

Whilst producing these reports can be a challenging process, it has also been a rewarding one. The reports enable communities, councillors and staff active in monitoring and managing the environment to have a reference document which examines environmental impacts and responses from a regional perspective. This process is incredibly valuable when you consider that our ecosystems are intrinsically connected and environmental issues do not neatly fall within political or administrative boundaries.
