Welcome to Sustainable Stirling

We are City of Stirling residents who want to help develop our city into a sustainable, livable environment for all residents. We help people understand how to improve our local environment and quality of life, and save money.  Through Sustainable Stirling we aim to come together to exchange ideas, concerns and knowledge.  Activities involve discussion with CoS councillors and CoS staff as appropriate, facilitating informative workshops and holding informal “catch-ups”  for discussions on matters of interest.
