Welcome to the Sustainable Penrith Website
What's New?
 Penrith City Council has adopted the principles of sustainability to guide its decisions and actions. The Sustainable Penrith program is a commitment to ensure a higher quality of life for all - both now and in the future - through economic growth, environmental protection and social equity.
Sustainability is changing the way we operate. It means integrating economic, environmental and social considerations into decision-making, balancing short-term priorities with longer-term needs and engaging with people.
The Sustainable Penrith program includes initiatives to reduce the City’s greenhouse gas emissions, encourage a healthy local economy, ensure sustainability principles are integrated into new development, build community links and protect the natural environment.
Sustainability recognises connections. It cannot be achieved by Council alone. To succeed, sustainability needs community involvement, partnerships with business and the participation of all levels of government.
This website provides information about Council’s activities, programs and policies. It is also a gateway to a huge range of information available through the Internet.
Whether you are building a new home or researching the impacts of global warming, Sustainable Penrith is a good place to start. Use the buttons at the top of the page to navigate your way through the range of information available.
