Region. Call to involve local government

Clr Alison McLaren, president, of the Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (WSROC), has called on Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and the Federal Government to embrace and use the capacities of local councils and local communities in the battle to limit greenhouse gas emissions and to control global climate change. “We would like nothing more than to have the opportunity to work with the Federal Government to help solve Australia’s greenhouse gas emission challenge from the bottom up, to complement the top down approach that has already been announced,” she said.
