Vision

The Greens have a vision of Sydney’s Inner West:

  • Ecologically sustainable – low carbon footprint, more native trees in our streets, solar power, rainwater tanks, clean air and clean waterways.
  • People friendly streets - end the domination of the car and traffic congestion, invest in public transport, better bicycle infrastructure, encourage walking, reduce aicraft noise by moving Sydney Airport.
  • Vibrant & diverse community – encourage multiculturalism, maximise public space, put on community festivals, invest in libraries, child care, aged care and other community services.
  • Peace and safety – discourage alcohol consumption and gambling, encourage youth into creative endeavours, avoid draconian policing methods and protect civil liberties.
  • Creative & green economy – policies to encoruage the creative, artistic and green industries to work in the Inner West and provide interesting quality jobs for local people.
  • Community driven decision making - work to create pathways to empower the community to be involved in decisions that will affect their lives.
