The NSW Liberals & Nationals want to encourage this local energy and ownership.
At a local level, interests range from planning issues, preservation of natural areas, and the quality of the built environment and the value it adds to peoples’ quality of life.
Policies such as tackling graffiti crime will help give local communities the power to take control of the look and feel of their shopping centres, public facilities and neighbourhoods.
On a broader level we will ensure that we are better able to assess and protect our valuable cultural heritage by giving Heritage an independent advocate in Cabinet, separate from the Minister for Planning.
Issues such as water management, air quality and waste management should be considered with community input and ideas.
On national and global environmental issues, we will lead by example where possible to promote and support innovations in transport-related emission technology, planning to encourage public transport and bicycle use, and measures to encourage renewable and lower-carbon energy technologies.
The NSW Liberals & Nationals intend to constrain politics in decision-making, including on environmental and planning issues and ensure our policy approaches on any issue are backed by evidence and are sustainable.
We will return as much decision-making as possible to local communities and to the structures closest to the places affected by those decisions.

step foot out here in the Sefton Chester Hill Yagoona area. Do you think before the next
election maybe we may see who is going to represent us and maybe he or she may visit the
area knock on doors and at least put phamphlets in our letter box. Especially how to vote
information. We received absolutely no printed paper before the last election. We have
been liberal voters all our lives and we would like to see a little attention shown our
way. pamela sefton
