Sutherland Shire’s exceptional natural environment is a haven for humans and biodiversity. Ranging from native bushland to stunning coastal environments, the Shire is home to endangered ecological communities, threatened species, Ramsar-listed wetlands, National Parks and so much more. Maintaining a healthy balance between biodiversity and built environments is vitally important.
