Environment

Cowra Council is committed to preserving and maintaining the local environment.  As such, we organise and participate in various environmental projects and encourage the community to follow our lead.  Council's environmental focus has grown even stronger in recent years with the Natural Resource Management Futures 30 group and Council's involvement in the Local Government Emissions Trading Scheme.

One particularly positive and practical project is the Plastic Bag Replacement Program which allows Cowra residents to exchange 20 plastic bags for a free reusable bag.  The program is ongoing and residents can make the exchange at Council's Customer Service Centre, the Gooloogong Handy Mart or Woodstock General Store.  For more information, contact the MRF on (02) 6340 2140 or click here.
