     Outcomes - Sustainable living

     A.   Council and community greenhouse gas emissions are avoided, reduced
          and offset through strong Council leadership, pursuit of multiple benefits and
          effective actions that are prioritised by impact.
     B.   Renewable energy usage is maximised and drives a transition to a zero
          emissions, clean energy future.
     C.   Effective and enduring Council and community partnerships actively drive the
          uptake of photovoltaic solar power on buildings.
     D.   Energy and resource consumption is minimised and managed to reduce
          costs, waste, water and energy usage, and to avoid environmental impacts.
     E.   An active local circular economy is supported through such approaches as
          innovative waste management models that maximise resource recovery and
          reuse.
     F.   Buildings, structures and landscaping are responsive to the subtropical
          climate, are resource efficient and minimise emissions.
     G.   Sustainable living practices and community capacity are enhanced through
          strong partnerships within the community, knowledge sharing, best practice
          showcases, innovative technologies and learning opportunities.
     H.   Agricultural and food production areas are protected and effectively managed
          to ensure adaptive and sustainable local production.
