Telling it like it is
Published 8 months, 2 weeks ago in Where I Live.From this week’s Glen Eira Leader.
I have just moved to City of Glen Eira a month ago, and I’ve worked out there is a lot missing at my local council.
Where is the information about environment and waste? Not on its website.
Where is the environment officer? Missing, too. There is not a single one at Glen Eira – most councils have a team of three or four.
Where is the sustainability policy? There is not one accessible.
Where are the sustainable houses programs? None. Waste wise community events? Missing.
The council supports Live Green with Less and helps residents with energy saving through the installation of efficient light globes, but offers no environmentally friendly way to dispose of these.
There is no transfer station.
Detox your Home program? Can’t find that either – and Glen Eira is the only Council in Victoria not to have signed up for Cities for Climate Protection.
Leadership on waste and environment is not there at Glen Eira.
What else is missing?
Leisa Hunt, Murrumbeena.

Welcome to clowncil land Leisa. As you’ll soon find out, there is heaps missing in this kingdom.
I was appreciative that a new resident had taken the time and effort to establish the boundaries of her new domain…..As younger people start moving into the area I believe this will be the tip of the iceberg in being environmentally aware….Good on you Leisa! and welcome to our world!
