One Degree Of Change - Saving Our Planet Is Up To Every One Of Us (Inner West Courier)

Program to save water, energy. Canada Bay and Leichhardt councils will join Sydney Water in a partnership program aimed at improving water and energy efficiencies for local businesses. The Inner West councils have received joint funding of $110,000 from Sydney Water to undertake a pilot partnership program.

Twenty-five businesses in the two council areas will undergo an environmental audit of their operations.

A dedicated project officer will work with them to reduce their water and energy consumption and review waste generation. "Working with Sydney Water on a program such as this reflects council's commitment to achieving a sustainable and environmentally friendly city," Canada Bay mayor Angelo Tsirekas said.

Leichhardt mayor Jamie Parker agreed: "This sustainability partnership is very important in helping businesses to save water and electricity, reduce waste and actually save them money in water , power and waste disposal costs."

FERRIES AT ANNANDALE AND WEST BALMAIN

Imagine hopping on a ferry at Annandale or West Balmain and being in the heart of the city within minutes.

In 2020, we won the campaign for a Glebe ferry. Now, we have the opportunity to connect more of our area to the ferry network. New ferries at Annandale and West Balmain will provide a faster, smarter route into the city without adding to the traffic on our roads.

Both Labor and the Liberals want to build more polluting and destructive tollways across Sydney. But we have costed a comprehensive plan for a world-class public transport system that makes getting around our city fast and easy.

Dear Transport Minister,

New inner west ferry services would provide efficient, fast and environmentally sound travel to and from the area for workers, tourists, students, pensioners and the general public.

I therefore ask that the Government build on the success of the Blackwattle Bay ferry and establish a ferry service at Rozelle Bay for the Annandale area and reinstate the ferry at West Balmain.
