The Council does not fall within this definition. The OPSC is within the NSW DAGJ, who has developed a policy on energy use, waste production and green purchasing. The policy demonstrates a commitment to reducing the effect of our operations on the natural environment. NSW DAGJ also has in place a sustainability policy. The Council and OPSC have continued to comply with these policies and assist to limit the impact of their operations on the environment. For example, Council papers for regular Council meetings are produced on 50 per cent recycled paper and printed double sided, and in most cases lengthy addenda are provided to Councilors electronically only. A number of Councilors are now receiving their papers in electronic format only, thereby reducing the use of paper and print processing.
