The state of our natural environment impacts greatly on almost every aspect of our daily lives. The environment is not just trees and animals; it is the very air we breathe, the water we drink, our weather, the buildings we live in and much more.
Our vision is for the City of Greater Dandenong to be a green city, committed to a sustainable future.
