Protecting our Environment
Greens Councillors have a long history of standing up for the environment - often when nobody else will.
The air we breathe, the water we drink and the earth we walk on can’t be taken for granted. Developer interests are often put before the needs of our environment and our community. If we want to protect our natural spaces, we need more Greens on Council.
If you want to elect a voice for the environment on Council, vote 1 Greens.
The Greens will:
- Fund bush regeneration projects and plant more native species
- Ensure the protection of local wildlife, and prioritise the preservation of habitat for threatened species
- Make sure new developments do not threaten environmentally sensitive land
- Aim for a 40% tree canopy in all LGAs which do not have that canopy cover, and commit to retaining the extent of canopy cover for the few Councils which exceed 40%.

WE’RE CAMPAIGNING FOR…
Tackling the Housing Crisis
The housing crisis is breaking people, and governments at all levels are tinkering around the edges instead of making the big changes we need to address housing affordability.
Bringing Down the Cost of Living
We are in a cost-of-living crisis, and local governments should be doing what they can to ensure that everyday people can afford to get by.
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.
TOGETHER, WE’RE POWERFUL.
People want strong action on the cost of living and climate crises, and a council that represents their values.
Unlike Labor and the Coalition, we don't take corporate donations. The Greens are powered by people like you.
