Declare a climate emergency
All future development should be climate emergency sensitive. We should be planting trees, building a recycling plant, encouraging less consumerism & introducing rigorous building perimeters/consents that make it impossible to erect cheap non-energy efficient buildings. This should include having enough green space around buildings, in particular housing. Wollongong Council should enforce planning regulations that encourage domestic housing to occupy smaller footprints, for people to occupy smaller houses, instead of building more and more oversized dwellings that are cheek by jowl that guzzle energy.

Resource the expansion of community gardens
There are many potential sites for small neighbourhood community gardens throughout the LGA. Supporting neighbours to find ways to work together to create community gardens, including effective composting systems, would reduce household waste and increase food production. Assistance with administration and compliance, planning and decision making, and expertise on gardening and garden systems would help rapidly expand effective community gardens across the LGA.
