Mosman’s Community Environmental Contract (PDF 73KB) is a comprehensive program of environmental works that are improving the quality of Mosman’s bushland, foreshores and marine habitats by improving stormwater quality, combating bushland degradation and reconstructing seawalls in an ecologically sensitive manner.
Works are to be undertaken over a six to seven year period and funded by a 5% special rate increase levied over a 12 year period commencing 1 July 2000. All monies collected will be dedicated to the works outlined in this section. Council will also continue to apply for grant funding to supplement the income from the special rate increase. Any additional funds made available due to successful grant applications will be used to provide increased environmental outcomes and in particular diverted towards specific bushland rehabilitation work wherever possible.
Integrated Projects Techniques used to address stormwater-related causes of bushland degredation and improve stormwater quality.
Bushland Council manages up to 39 hectares of bushland through supporting volunteer Bushcare groups and through the use of professional bushland contractors.
Stormwater Council is addressing the problems associated with stormwater through the entrapment of pollutants and educational campaigns.
Seawalls The coastal boundaries of Mosman are surrounded by over 3km of seawall. Many of these walls are up to a century old. Their restoration not only provides stability, but also habitat for intertidal creatures.
