Homes don't need to come at the expense of the environment.

As the bush capital of Australia, we have a responsibility to lead the nation in the fight against climate change and protect our natural environment.

But construction on the edges of our city has pushed many native ecosystems into increasingly precarious situations. And for too long, ACT Labor has imposed rules restricting more homes from being built inside our current footprint.

We’re in a climate and biodiversity crisis and we need ACT Labor to stop paving over habitat for new suburbs. 

Canberrans deserve more than piecemeal protections for our environment. At the moment, Canberra has a growing list of 72 threatened species which will only get bigger if we don't take action now.

With Greens in the balance of power we have secured protections for key ecological areas such as Bluetts Block. We have pushed Labor to agree to set an urban growth boundary and ensure homes don't come at the expense of our local environment. Our plan will make Canberra a great place to live - for both people and animals.
