		SAN-2088 POLICIES & OBJECTIVES

Dear Editor

You may wish to advise your readers of the formation of the Mosman 
"Sustainability Action Network" [SAN-2088] to contest the Local 
Government Election in Mosman on 13 Sep 2008.

A	Main Objective - accelerate Climate Change Practices
B	Woking Council Climate Change Model
C	Profile of SAN-2088 candidates
D	Other Candidates invited to join SAN-2088 Platform

A	MAIN OBJECTIVE-ACCELERATE CLIMATE CHANGE PRACTICES

The main objective of SAN-2088 is to accelerate the adoption of Climate 
Change practices not only in the Mosman Area but also in the SHOROC region.

Please review the attached 8 SAN Policy Objectives (Att A)

B	WOKING COUNCIL CLIMATE CHANGE MODEL

These proposed Climate Change practices are based on the very successful 
Woking Municipal Council Model as explained by Allan JONES MBE on 22 Jul 
2008 at the City-of-Sydney Seminar.

The main trust of the Woking Council Model is to move from a Carbon to 
a Hydrogen Economy with water as the waste product of Hydrogen emissions

The current SAN Candidates have studied the Woking Model of 81 Decentralised 
Energy Systems and consider it eminently suitable for Mosman 
(Att B - Decentralised Energy Systems).   

C	CANDIDATE PROFILES

However it requires Engineers including Civil, Mechanical and Information 
Engineers on the Council who understand the technical issues and the 
long term implications

The three registered SAN-2088 Candidates are

1 	Michael CLEAR - Water & Mechanical Engineer

2	Willem RAVESTIJN - Sports Information Administrator 

3 	Stephen GOULD - Information Engineer

Please find attached the Profile of one of the SAN-2088 candidates 
Stephen GOULD who as an Information Engineer has a long understanding 
of Mosman Council's Information requirements since 1994.

D	MOSMAN CANDIDATES INVITED JOIN SAN-2088 PLATFORM

NSW Councils have had 14 years to consider Sustainability issues and 
are moving far too slowly (Ref C: "1995 Sustainability is the Future").

Other Mosman Candidates are invited to join our platform to ensure that 
the appropriate Climate Change policies are adopted quickly 
(ref D: Mosman Oval residents letter 02 Aug 2008 on excessive Power 
consumption)

Yours sincerely
