Thanks Phil, that's an impressive statement from Maribyrnong. Here's hoping they are also brave enough to circulate it well among their residents. I'm not sure many would find it on the council's website without direction. Nevertheless it encouraged me to send a copy of their action plan PDF to my own council (which is not far from Maribyrnong). I don't know if Maribyrnong's response comes from a particularly well informed council, or whether some of the recent headlines in the media are starting to make people more open to PO ideas (hopefully the latter).

Policy documents like this don't appear and get approved by council overnight. Maribyrnong have been well ahead on the peak oil learning curve for quite awhile.

Sending it to your own council and asking them what they're doing is good move.

Done! Let's see what old Monash council has to say...
