Our roads have really suffered during repeated natural disasters. We need to focus on getting them back up to standard.
On Council, we will:
- Employ local road crews to keep jobs local, get roads back up to standard and repair them faster following disasters
- Increase traineeships and apprenticeships to increase our workforce and skills base
- Prioritise roads based on condition, need and use
- Insist on high quality repairs and betterment to make roads safer and more resilient
- Advocate for more funding and faster, high quality repairs that last on state-owned roads.
Taking Action on Climate Change
Councils can lead the transition from fossil fuels to renewables. 2023 was the hottest year on record – it’s never been more important to elect Greens to all levels of government to push for further and faster action on the climate crisis.
Making our Communities Accessible
Everyone deserves access to community spaces and Council facilities. But right now, Council’s lack of action is locking vulnerable people out of our public spaces.
Transparency and Integrity
Council is the closest level of government to the community. The Greens believe that everyday people deserve access to the Council processes which affect their everyday lives. Locals should be at the centre of decisions – not politicians or special interests.
