The ISJO’s Environment, Waste and Sustainability Division is response for a series of key initiatives designed, in partnership with our Member Councils and Agency partners, to generate positive and long term benefits for our region, its communities and its environment. Some of our initiatives have beyond our region reach and include local government areas adjacent to the Illawarra Shoalhaven and across New South Wales.
