Make a submission on Sydney's wellbeing indicators

ARRCC encourages supporters to make a submission to the City of Sydney.

City_of_SydneyThe City of Sydney is developing a set of indicators to measure community well-being in the Sydney local government area and is currently inviting public comment. ARRCC believes the existing indicators are a good start, but that additional indicators should be included to ensure that climate change issues are adequately reflected, given the substantial impact climate change can have on our well-being.

ARRCC is currently drafting a submission and invites all members and supporters to send one too. Completing this form will create a submission that you can email directly to the City of Sydney. It's quick and easy to do!

Simply:

  1. Have a quick look at the economic and environmental indicators already included by the City of Sydney
  2. Complete the form below, selecting the suggested indicators you believe are important and/or adding your own suggestions.
  3. Once you complete the form, you’ll receive a word document containing your formatted submission.
  4. You can then review and edit, or send as is to the City of Sydney.

All submissions must be completed below by 5pm Friday 2nd March and emailed to the City of Sydney by 5pm on Saturday 3 March 2012.
