Our vision for a sustainable Cardiff Area 2025
A neighbourhood that values and enhances our natural environments, minimises our resource consumption, and provides a friendly, safe and attractive environment.
What we value about Cardiff Area:
• Our natural environment including bushland, wildlife, birdlife, and proximity
to the Lake, beaches and open spaces
• Our lifestyle that combines a peaceful bushland environment, and is
close to all amenities such as shops, library, schools,
industrial estate, sporting grounds and Cardiff train station
• Our friendly, family oriented community that provides a great
environment for our children
We want Cardiff Area to be a place where:
• We actively care for and enjoy our bushland areas that support thriving wildlife.
• Everyone minimises their use of resources and integrates environmental sustainability into their everyday actions.
• People leave their cars at home and use well designed community infrastructure, including public transport, walkways and cycleways, to access goods and services locally.
• Our community supports each other, is well prepared, and can respond effectively to emergencies.
• Parks and public facilities are clean, attractive and safe places, and we have a strong sense of community and pride of place.
