Focus on basics including street cleaning, graffiti removal, mowing and care of parks and open spaces.
Invest in wastewater infrastructure so sewerage does not pollute local waterways, harbours or beaches.
Oppose any plan to reduce bin collection frequency as residents expect reliable services they already pay for.
Enforce illegal dumping penalties and expand CCTV so polluters, not ratepayers, foot the cleanup bill, reducing rodents and increasing local pride.
Improve waste systems by boosting recycling access and making it easier for families to cut landfill waste, allowing nature to be cleaner.
Drive community planting by asking people where they want to see more trees, bringing more birds back and maybe community gardens.
Fight illegal dumping of rubbish with enforcement and prevention, build community recycling centres and advocate for law changes.
Increase environmental monitoring and transparency to focus on the right problems and build on what works.
Increase pest plant and animal management and removal at local and regional levels with funding, empowering volunteers and good policy.
