Carbon Management Policy

Adopted February 2011.

The objectives of the Carbon Management Policy are:

to provide a framework to aid decision-making where the future cost of greenhouse gas emissions (sometimes referred to as the carbon price) is, or may be, a material consideration
to ensure the Council meets its legal obligations and is fiscally prudent when managing carbon-related assets and liabilities
to identify opportunities to minimise liabilities and/or maximise assets created under the Emissions Trading Scheme, where this is economically efficient and fiscally prudent.
