How the NSW Government intends to monitor ambient air quality in the Greater Sydney Region during the next five-year period: 2021 to 2025.

This case study focuses on the application of the Australian Rainfall and Runoff 2016 updates to a small urban catchment.

This report summarises the performance of 97 swimming sites in the Sydney region of New South Wales.

A major study to record the distribution and abundance of, and threats facing, native animals of the Greater Southern Sydney Region was undertaken by DECC and the Sydney Catchment Authority between 2002 and 2007. Project staff mapped fauna habitat, and surveyed animals and assessed their conservation status, in the bushland around southern Sydney, Wollongong and the southern Blue Mountains. The study provided much information to help the community ensure the long-term survival of these animals and reduce the impacts of pests.

In this study we used data previously collected by ANSTO from four of our long-term sampling sites covering the period from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2014.

In response to catastrophic flooding, the Australian Government has provided New South Wales with $40 million in funding for 62 local government areas.

It is essential that local communities understand that severe beach erosion will occur again and that frontal dunes will play a vital role in mitigating erosion initiated losses.

This report summarises the performance of 218 swimming sites along the NSW coast in 2023–2024, providing a long-term assessment of how suitable a site is for swimming.

The manual provides guidance to assist local councils when preparing and implementing coastal management programs under the new coastal management framework.

The Department of Planning and Environment notes the findings of the Coastal Council’s annual surveys, including the highlighted key findings and recommendations.
