Monash Vision for 2021

posted Mar 2, 2011 10:15 PM by Climate Change Our Future
Worth checking out dear readers.  Here is the 'Green' bit although elsewhere the council do say sustainability will be business as usual.  
http://www.monash.vic.gov.au/publications/monash2012.htm
Our priorities for the next 10 years will be to:
Lead the Monash community in responsible recycling, waste and litter management.
Cultivate and promote sustainable living practices within the Monash community including recycling and water and energy use.
Reduce our community’s use of resources and our greenhouse gas emissions. 
Lead by example in adopting sustainable practices and technology in council buildings and operations.
Educate and support residents to adapt to a low carbon economy.
Use community events as opportunities to engage the community in discussion about environmental issues. 
Maintain the provision of open space for passive and active uses.
Maintain the leafy character of the city and streetscapes.
