MORNINGTON PENINSULA: ‘Outcomes based’ decisions


Mornington Peninsula Shire Council says that it will insist that all future climate-related proposals be subject to individual Council reports or itemised budget bids, with clear measures of effectiveness.
“Each project must also consider emissions and provide comparison data for alternative options, supporting more informed decision-making,” said a Council representative. “The decision also allows Council to place greater focus on the priorities raised consistently by the community, including coastal protection, stormwater management and the maintenance of public assets, while continuing to meet its obligations.”
