Environment

Beyond rates, roads and rubbish, we manage several environmental plans, services, and initiatives.

 

Tree management

Trees play a key role in our ecosystem. They help to provide habitat for wildlife, connect our green corridors, clean our air and cool our streets.

Biosecurity

Protect the economy, environment and community from the negative impacts of animal and plant pests, diseases and weeds for the benefit of all people in the Clarence Valley and NSW.

Water and sewage

Learn about water and sewer services in the Clarence Valley. This includes data information, water extraction and rebate programs.

Living Sustainably Awards

These annual awards are aimed at recognising outstanding contributions or achievements which enhance environmental, economic and social sustainability.

Backyard burning

Backyard burning without approval is only permitted in certain areas of the Clarence Valley, and at certain times of the year. Find out when and how to gain approval for burning.
