NOW IS THE TIME!
With the US pledging to half its Carbon Emissions by 2030 - the Inner West needs to ride the waves and not resist the tide.
Inner West Council declared a Climate Emergency in May 2019 on my Notice of Motion.
The
COVID Lockdown has seen a dramatic drop in Emissions and we enjoyed the
walking and cycling in the Clear Air and empty roads. The Return of
aircraft to our skies are an unwelcome return to normality.
Emissions form Electricity were already dropping but we need to transition our systems to renewal and away from Coal, Gas and Oil.
We still need
to tackle Carbon Emission from Transport and Gas and ofcourse increase
the Tree Canopy and Green Space. Better design of our homes to be
naturally more comfortable and streets to prioritise low carbon travel
in our urban design.
Make a submission to the Design and Place SEPP before 28 April 2021.https://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/Policy-and-Legislation/State-Environmental-Planning-Policies-Review/Design-and-Place-SEPP
