Nature and the Environment

​

A management plan of Namadgi National Park to preserve its unique ecosystems, biodiversity, and cultural heritage, focusing on fire resilience, species protection, and safeguarding water resources. 

​

Planning street development in Canberra with a focus on minimizing habitat destruction, pollution, and biodiversity loss. A strategic maintenance program for Canberra's roads should emphasize on long-term planning, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.

​

Increased access to solar and battery storage ensuring that access to clean energy is not just a privilege reserved for those who can afford it. Schools represent a largely untapped resource for solar generation acting as Virtual Power Plants (VPPs), feeding surplus energy back into the grid and further building the ACT's renewable energy capacity. ​

 

Investing in improving public transport, with more frequent buses, including on weekends and public holidays, and more routes.  This will allow more families to rely on public transport for their daily commutes without sacrificing valuable time.

 

Dedicated free school buses with minimal walking to school bus stops will assure parents that their kids are safe to take a bus to school and reduces cars on the roads.

 

Promoting electric vehicles isn’t enough to meet our climate goals, as this will not address traffic congestion or the emissions involved in the production and disposal of vehicles. To truly tackle climate change, we need to rethink how we move around our city by making it easier, safer, and more affordable to travel without a car.

​

Promoting Active Transport to reduce reliance on cars, with a suitable infrastructure for cycling, walking, and public transport.

 

Governmental interest-free loans or subsidies for e-bike purchases would make e-bikes more accessible for households.
