Overview
The Dubbo Region has a healthy and natural environment that can be attributed to the plans we have put in place and those that are being developed. These plans allow us to make the region more resilient to the impacts of climate change and natural hazards.
Our key priority in this year’s draft 2024/2025 budget, delivery plan and operational plan is to ensure we meet our net-zero targets by 2030. By meeting these targets, we are helping make our region a more sustainable and inviting place to live into the future.
