25.01.2022 Can council really do anything about Climate Change, and livability? Yes! Door-to-door soft plastic recycling, making it as easy as possible to do the right thing Early roll-out of the four-bin, colour-coded waste and recycling system, not allowing an extra decade of waste (currently due by 2030) Promotion of incentives for household water collection and repurposing systems, permanent composting set-ups, native-tree gardens and passive-buildings/fitouts... Seperate, well-lit and accessible cycling lanes, making it safe and more convenient to get to work or go out with the kids, whether you’re in a car or not Converting unused roads to temporary parks and green walking thoroughfares, and increasing tree canopy coverage throughout Stonnington Creating walkable neighbourhoods, with every household within easy, well-lit, safe, maintained and shaded walking distance of attractive parks, inviting local shops/dining and public transport Improving and incentivising commercial new-build, maintenance and tenancy standards, including for water collection, waste reduction and reuse, passivity with insulation and orientation preferenced, and contribution to native planting and green open space We can use these levers to make a meaningful difference across all three levels now. 1. Household - by integrating positive action into every day life for the majority of households. 2. Commercial premises and business - improved standards while incentivising operations away from harm. 3. Public infrastructure - identifying initiatives and making the financial commitment and investment now. Let’s do it!
20.01.2022 What are my other priorities? Fast-track delivery of critical council-owned infrastructure, sporting, care and education facilities.
16.01.2022 Chapel St and Glenferrie Rd/High St revival - great, but how? From small businesses in South Ward themselves this is what I’m hearing: 1. They want a seat at the decision making table themselves, to be heard and listened to first-hand before solutions are decided, not consulted afterwards. We can make this happen. ... 2. For solutions to come out of these (their) ideas, not from external consultants. These include to date: 3. Creating pop-up parks in side streets designed to increase foot traffic. 4. A yearly festival similar to the St Kilda and Johnson Street Festivals, with the retail and dining street precincts only open to foot traffic. 5. A specialised marketing team who’s remit is to connect landlords with the right mix of retailers for each area’s demographics, and rebuild with destination shopping. This would be council funded and involve finding the right businesses, then directly approaching both parties one-on-one. 6. A second specialised team who’s job is only to work with these new and existing small business, one-on-one, to help them increase their customer base and numbers. These staff would need to be business professionals experienced in running and helping small retail and hospitality businesses exceed. Would love to know what you think too, and if you feel this supports you I trust in your support also. With 16 candidates for 3 positions, let’s give the little guys a voice. #Stonnington2020
