City of Boroondara

The BSN is envisaged as an interactive network where members and supporters are able to exchange ideas and information. The company's key aim, as expressed in the company's mission statement, is to contribute to a more sustainable way of life in Boroondara. Individuals and local environment action groups may join and contribute. The company's websi... te will be the company's main interface with the public and residents of Boroondara in particular. The BSN will hopefully provide a supporting focus to the sustainability initiatives undertaken and proposed by the City of Boroondara. As such, the BSN offers environmentally conscious residents of Boroondara an opportunity to actively contribute to Council's development of environmental policies and sustainability initiatives. Traditional government bodies and organiations at both local and state levels are often constrained by cumbersome bureaucratic processes, which can result in lengthy delays between the inception of an idea and its final realisation. With sustainability being the underlying goal of the BSN, the company intend to contribute to relevant Council processes and actions. This may included Council buildings and premises, the business sector, transport and public infrastructure, water, energy and local initiatives such as community gardens.Read More
