Environmental levy

Burns Road, Wahroonga by Fred Fatakia

Enjoying and protecting our natural environment

The Environmental Levy has been in place since 2005 and funds around $3.4 million worth of environmental programs and works every year, ensuring our unique bushland, waterways and plants and animals are looked after. Under the current Environmental Levy the average residential ratepayer pays around $80 as part of their annual rates.
