New Organisation-wide Environmental Objectives and Targets
A new set of Council Organisation-wide Environmental Objectives and Targets
for energy and water use were endorsed in 2012.
The purpose of developing organisation-wide objectives and targets for Port

•
Provide clarity and direction to Council programs and investments
•
Provide a motivational tool for staff by improving on previous years
•
Allow Council to monitor performance directly against a specific outcome.
•
Provide a positive public leadership opportunity for the Council.
Energy, GHG emissions and water objectives and targets have been developed
for Council sectors within operational control – they are
•
Organisation-wide greenhouse gas emissions
•
Energy (excludes street lighting)
•
Fleet fuel (vehicles)
•
Water
Each sector has a long-term objective by 2020, a 4-year short-term objective,
and annual targets set to meet the 4 year short-term objectives. (See table
