4. Sustainability

In the establishment of this ROPS, consideration has been given to the following sustainability
‘pillars’ in accordance with Council’s Procurement Policy:

Sustainability Pillar     Consideration
Economic and Social Through the RFT Council communicated its intention, without precluding
                    any Supplier from responding, to utilise this ROPS to encourage the
                    development of competitive local business and industry. This may result
                    in Council giving preference to local suppliers over non-local suppliers
                    when engaging suppliers from the ROPS.
Environment               The establishment of a ROPS of this assists in contributing to the natural
                          environment by correct pruning techniques in accordance with Australia
                          Standards, and includes tree planting works and root barrier installation to
                          retain trees where possible.
