10 Treasurer s Environs The past financial year has provided many challenges to Environs as a financial organisation. Membership over the year has been static, which is disappointing given the success of the conference and the inaugural awards. This year has also seen the retention of key sponsors that have offered a new income stream for the organisation. It is noted that this source of sponsorship will continue, especially from businesses directly involved in the sustainability field. Members of the Board are optimistic about the future of Environs, but the financial reality is that the financial parameters in which Environs operates are very tight. On behalf of the Board of Environs, I would like to thank all the contractors and people that have given their time and services to keep the organisation going, and a special thank you to Sally Larkin for her efforts and support given to the organisation over the past twelve months. Please find attached the financial status report and the audit. Yours sincerely DAVID KEENAN TREASURER ENVIRONS AUSTRALIA Att. 13

18 to celebrate the achievement of environmental practitioners and their organisations that have the capacity, confidence and desire to champion ecologically sustainable development. Council Support Facilitated by representatives in States and Territories, the Environs Executive provides technical advice and support to councils with a view to reducing the risk of project failure while improving the uptake of ecologically sustainable development supporting environmental practitioners who often operate in isolation. That is: Responding to phone and enquiries; Providing project development and management support; Peer reviewing policies and the development of initiatives; Sourcing and disseminating grant funding opportunities; Peer reviewing grant applications. Other Environs Executive develops and present scientific papers and findings presented at conferences, seminars and forums. Further, Environs Executive facilitates partnerships between our Member organizations; local government organisations such as region of councils, management authorities and natural resource facilitators; Government representatives; and research institutions. Planning for the Future In 2006/07, Environs Executive looked at how we could enhance our current suite of products and services and develop innovative mechanisms to fortify our ability as an organisation that acts as a knowledge broker while building the capacity of our members to implement ecologically sustainable development. Several mechanisms were identified and developed as follows: Local Solutions Fund A public fund was established for the specific purpose of supporting the environmental purposes of Environs. The fund was established to receive all gifts of money or property from the public and operated on a non-profit basis. A committee established for this purpose will administer the fund. It is proposed that funds in excess of those required for Environs initiatives may be distributed to member organisations for the development and delivery of projects with tangible outcomes such as toolkits, guidelines, models etc. Web development that will be actioned in 2007/08 will act as an interface for the receipt and administration of funds. Meaningful Partnerships Environs support Partnerships as a means of raising in-kind support for like-minded organisations, public and private. Further, Environs recognises that a Partnership should also have the dual benefit of expanding environmental awareness and practices amongst our members, within the partnering organisation and their staff, service providers, clients and/ or customers. A suite of partnership policies and associated agreements were drafted and endorsed by the Executive as a means to facilitate partnerships that will enhance the support of our members. 5
19 Knowledge Brokering The benefits of our member services are numerous, assisting councils to deliver sustainable outcomes in their local government areas. The mechanisms detailed below enable Environs to meet our objectives and deliver the following across : Provision of up-to-date technical and project development and management advice; Promoting best practice ecologically sustainable development; Increased capacity of councils and private industry to adopt sustainable practices; Promotion of councils implementing best practice policies, projects and other initiatives; Improved understanding of natural resource management issues relevant to individual council needs; Increased sense of cohesion and community amongst our members; Commitment by councils to implement ecologically sustainable development.

Current website resources include: Information exchange: Innovative, best practice policies and project based case studies can be downloaded; Best Five Minutes archive; Links to our member s websites; Literature: best practice research with tangible outcomes and application at the local level; Seminars & events; Upcoming events such as conferences, workshops, seminars and forums.

20 20 Years of Action Environs was formed in 1989 and marks 20 years of leadership in sustainability in. Environs has been at the forefront of sustainability in since then. Environs is a network of members interested in promoting sustainable development through local action, primarily in the local government sector. The strength of the network lies in its members sharing their knowledge, learning and success to build sustainability at a local scale. As an organisation we also strive to constructively advocate to other levels of Government for improved sustainability outcomes. Environs membership includes individuals, organisations and councils from all States and Territories across. Many of these members have supported the network since it began. Our Vision For Local Government in to be a leader in delivering sustainable communities and a willing participant in aiding the transfer of knowledge and skills internationally. Our Mission Environs will be a national leader in providing resources building sustainability with local government to enhance sustainable development. Our Objectives Building the commitment and capacity of local councils to implement best practice policies, projects and initiatives, driving ecologically sustainable development in their local government area. Improving the sustainable future of by enhancing the strength of our membership network, acting as a knowledge broker, bridging the gap between science and policy. Environmental Leadership Environs is committed to practising what we encourage our Members, Partners and their communities to achieve.

21 President s has been a turbulent year for, and for Environs. The growing awareness of climate change and of energy, food and resource security has placed increased pressure on communities and governments to implement meaningful action. A lot has changed in 12 months. These changes make Enviorns all the more relevant. Environs is poised as a network to provide support to this growing commitment. This will be a significant challenge for Environs, but one to which I know every member and supporter will rally. At Environs, we have always considered that our strength lies in our network of members, helping to share their knowledge, expertise and lessons learnt. Environs is committed to continuing our role this regard - providing the means to create stronger linkages between our members while acting as a knowledge broker, bridging the gap between science and the development of policy, projects and other initiatives built upon the sound foundations set in of with low overheads, a revised and updated constitution, operating Local Solutions fund. This base will allows Environs to continue to respond to the dynamic local government and sustainability environment. saw the strengthening of our partnership with Hallmark Editions with whom we have developed the annual conference Local Government Sustainable Development which includes Environs Sustainability Leadership awards and our AGM. also saw the continuation of the support of RolandDG sponsoring the awards based on their Cradle-to-grave product philosophy and their focus on environmentally friendly inks and media. Environs also enjoyed the tangible support of ENSR AECOM for the silver awards. Unfortunately Environs was not able to publish Best Five Minutes or Local Environs this year. A hiatus that we hope to address significantly in The 2007 Conference, Dinner and Awards was a resounding success and culminated in our Gold Award Sustainability Leadership Award going to???????. I thank the numerous supporters, sponsors and volunteers, without whose help, we could not have had one of our most productive years yet. I would especially like to recognise Sally Larkin and Rani Milne who have been the active hands of Enviorns in past years but for personal reasons are not able to stay with us. 2008/09 offers a fantastic opportunity for Environs to build momentum, especially and to deepen relationships with research institutions, community groups and government, to develop services to members and expand Environs role as a voice for sustainability represents the 20 th year of Environs. Lets make this a year that counts. Evan Thomas Environs President 2
