Greener Places, Healthier Waterways Vision
Who may
like to get
involved
Idea
How does this idea support the local Green and Blue Grid?
Plant vegetation
and gardens
around new
commercial
buildings or install
a green roof or
vertical garden.
Business
owners
Commercial buildings can lack trees and gardens that offer amenity for workers.
Business owners are encouraged to build ‘greenery’ into their building designs
to create more pleasant and cooler spaces for workers and create new ‘green’
connections in business, retail, and industrial areas.
Talk to children
about the
importance of
trees caring
for the natural
environment.
Parents/
carers,
preschools
and schools
Children will inherit the world we are creating today and will be responsible for
caring for the natural environment in the future. Talking to children and engaging
them in learning more about local threatened species and how to care for trees
and waterways will equip children with the knowledge and skills to support the
sustainability of the local Green and Blue Grids.
Accept local
native plant
giveaways for
local schools and
preschools.
Preschools
and schools
The distribution of plants to local schools and childcare centres helps create
awareness and encourage local communities to contribute to enhancing local
biodiversity.
Take the pledge to
‘Be the Solution
to Stormwater
Pollution’ - reduce
your impact on
stormwater quality
and be an advocate
for urban trees.
All
community
members
By pledging to make small changes in our everyday lives to improve the quality
of water that ends up in local waterways such as creeks and rivers and to care
for natural environments can make the places we live and visit greener and
waterways healthier.
