Under the objectives of being an Eco City the Council is encouraging the creation of a city for the future, using the knowledge and technology available in the 21st century. This is done by balancing the needs of people, of business and of the environment to deliver a superior quality of life that is sustainable far into the future.
The way we create our buildings is of paramount importance to the success of this quest. Overall design; how we acquire, use and conserve energy; how we use water; using renewable materials and innovative use of materials new and old - all have their part to contribute.
Accordingly anyone interested in building or renovating is encouraged to take on board the eco principles described in the various eco projects undertaken by the Council.
