The Greens have a positive vision for the Illawarra: for a sustainable and fair society where we use the challenge of climate change to provide good jobs to people in our community.
Greens parties all over the world are guided by our four pillars. Our policies and practices are tested against these four basic principles. The four pillars are:
- Environmental sustainability;
- Social and economic justice;
- Peace and non-violence;
- Grassroots democracy.
The Illawarra Greens is local group, based in Wollongong. Generally we meet monthly at Fairy Meadow Community Centre.
