Given that car dependence is responsible for 40% of household greenhouse emissions, it is imperative that public transport improvements are provided to ensure that Melbourne is able to use a public transport system that is safe, reliable, frequent and readily available.

The City of Maroondah is holding an environment forum to discuss issues of concern to the community and to address issues relating to urban sustainability.

This forum marks the beginning of what will become regular forums to allow the community to discuss environmental issues within Maroondah. The first forum will consist of a largely open format allowing the community to set the agenda for the issues that council should pursue and will set the focal point for the rest of the year.

The information exchange will be a two-way process, with the community providing feedback to council on required environmental projects and for council to provide feedback and education on activities.
