LMCC’s Oil Supply Vulnerability Policy is open for community comment till 22nd September. The policy will assist to prepare the city for likely increases in the cost of living associated with increased fossil fuel prices.
The goal is to provide a policy and framework to assist Council and community to respond responsibly and proactively in the face of a declining oil supply and associated rise in the cost of fossil fuel.
The plan is to build resilience to peak oil and some of the things Council aims to do includes create oil-resilient transport networks and actively plan for oil resilient towns and for a city prepared for demographic and regional change, including fundamental change to transport, work and living arrangements.
Council’s website has the details http://www.lakemac.com.au/page.aspx?pid=101&vid=1&apt=detail&aid=838
