Outstanding Green Light Candidates

Bronwyn Lewis has been assessed as an Outstanding Green light Candidate

So, here is her answer to our assessment questions:

1. If I am elected to the South Australian Parliament, I will support real action on issues relating to the ecological and climate emergency.

2. I support the application of the 3Rs and the Climate Rescue Accord to inform, when relevant, my position and advocacy on legislation and policy and will continue to promote the ICLEI vision of sustainability policy and drive local action for zero emission, nature-based, equitable, resilient and circular development. I have been acutely involved in the Climate / Environment arena for over 40 years. Demonstrating against wood chipping and whaling in WA in the 1970’s through to winning a tender from the Australian Greenhouse Office in 2006 to deliver education to 540 Councils around Australia to reach their ICLEI milestones.

ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability

On Election to Alexandrina Council in late 2018 one of my first Motions was the introduction of a Climate Emergency Committee and an Environment committee and both of these did substantive planning and policy work in my term. After standing against the Mayor in the 2022 Election and missing out by 61 votes the committees were merged and have not been as effective – the Council’s ICLEI membership too was dropped.

My independent opponent in the State Election is a current member of that council and has done nothing that I know off to progress any action in the space. My most significant achievement was the introduction of a heat mapping exercise showing how significant trees have cooled the land in our area. This has also delivered a level of heritage protection that was lost with the introduction of the DPI Act.

Another piece of work undertaken as a result of the Climate Emergency committee was a Coastal Adaption report which is now being implementation in particular in the Port Elliot region of the Fleurieu where erosion and tidal storms are causing both the rise of the sea level and significant issues around dune stability. One of the simplest measures is the immediate restoration of the breakwater.
