To be more sustainable increasing density must be part of the equation, but this must be done thoughtfully and sensitively. Good education and involvement of the community to reduce the tendency for NIMBYism.\u003C/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EEncouragement of Transit Oriented Developments around stations particularly Marrickville. This could be a real hive of action if properly planned and developed.\u003C/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EMore sustainable transport including separated bicycle paths, bicycle storage and other facilities. Integration with City of Sydney and other surrounding councils. Incentives such as preferred parking for smaller cars and car schemes (e.g. Go-Get).\u003C/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EA sustainable energy plan including distributed power (cogen, trigen for large energy users - pools, gyms, coucil buildings etc).

Obviously this has to be done sensibly with limited budgets. With good community involvement a lot can be achieved with a little (look at what has been done in Chippendale) e.g. edible street planting.\u003C/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EDare I say it, amalgamation with City of Sydney or ... Our councils in Sydney are just too small and inefficient and do not have sufficient scope to plan for the necessary solutions required of today's world. Better to take control of this than have it forced upon us by State Government at some stage. \u003C/p\u003E\u0026nbsp;"}
