We're developing a strategy to protect, restore and manage biodiversity in Kingston over the next five years.


Preserving our native species requires everyone to work together, so we're calling on you to help by sharing your feedback on our plan to protect and enhance our biodiversity.


What is biodiversity?

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on earth, including the species of animals, plants, fungi and even bacteria that make up our natural world.


Why is biodiversity important?

Species and organisms work together in ecosystems to maintain balance and support life. The loss of one or more elements can significantly impact our environment.


Biodiversity in Kingston

Kingston has a diverse range of environments, including bushland, urban green spaces, and our coastline. Each area is home to unique native animals and plants. However, pressures such as climate change, land development and introduced species threaten the future of biodiversity.

We want to expand on the work we are already doing to protect our native environment and increase our community's knowledge and efforts to protect and promote biodiversity now and in the future.

We've developed a draft strategy to help us protect biodiversity in Kingston, and we'd like to hear your thoughts. The following documents are available for viewing:
