The environment at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Dubbo has been assessed as healthy and improving, with details to be made public at an event at the University on Monday 23 September. Head of Campus at CSU in Dubbo, Dr Bev Moriarty, said she is pleased with the outcome of the assessment, which was conducted at all CSU campuses as part of the strategy to reduce energy consumption and waste, and enhance the University’s sustainability. “Despite the continuing growth of the campus in Dubbo, we have reduced water, electricity and gas consumption relative to 2006 when the first data was recorded,” Dr Moriarty said. “A separate consultant’s assessment by FloraSearch undertaken earlier this year details flora and fauna species present on the campus. It includes recommendations to control foxes and feral cats in the wider neighbourhood, which might be targeted by relevant authorities in the future.” The CSU Environmental Scorecard will be launched at 12.45pm on Monday 16 September and will be followed by a barbeque at 1 pm.
