Sustainability and the Environment
The City of Bayside is gifted with an amazing open environment. From our sparkling coastline and it’s ancient dunes, to the urban forest of our urban streets, there is always something new to discover.
The community of Bayside recognizes the value of our natural environment, as does Bayside City Council. Together we work to enhance and protect the numerous species of native flora and fauna that call our community home.
