The City of Parramatta Council, a local government area that encompasses Central Western Sydney is one of Australia’s fastest growing municipalities. The council area is widely regarded as Sydney’s second CBD.
City of Parramatta required a feasibility study to discover whether the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) sustainability reporting framework was ‘fit for purpose’ to use as a support reporting tool in conjunction with Council’s Annual Reporting. Other reporting frameworks and standards were also thrown into the mix, to determine the pros and cons of incorporating elements of these within the annual reporting process.
