• Waste -Decrease volume of waste output to landfill and encourage more efficient use of resources
• Ecosystems - Protect and enhance natural landform, natural flora and fauna and increase the number of healthy ecosystems
• Water - Ensure protection and enhancement of underground water supplies, maximise the use of recycled water and reduce overall water use through efficiency measures
