Local councils interact with communities more directly than any other level of government. They manage vital community assets like parks, bushland and active transport infrastructure, recycling and disposing of waste, water usage, and town planning and development controls. The decisions councils make have a huge bearing on the ecological sustainability of NSW. 

Our next council election is coming up soon on Saturday, 14 September 2024.

We are proud to launch our brand new policy platform Clean, Green and Local: Priorities for nature and climate in the 2024 local government elections. This platform consists of a wide range of policy commitments that candidates contesting the upcoming elections can champion and enact if elected.

You can access the policy platform in full here. 

If you are a candidate for the upcoming elections, an organisations, or a supporter, you can endorse some or all of the platform on this page.
