The Greens have called for a shared pathway to be built from Montague St, North Wollongong, linking to Virginia Ave, as a symbolic first step in linking up Wollongong's very patchy bike paths. 

The Greens have vowed to fight the proposed Russell Vale Mine expansion, after Wollongong Coal held a small consultation in Corrimal last night, Illawarra Greens spokesperson and Mayoral candidate Mithra Cox said today.

"The age of coal is over. Wollongong Coal needs to pay its debts to our community and move on," Ms Cox said today.

The Greens candidates for the council elections in September will be  Mithra Cox, in Ward 1,  Cath Blakey in Ward 2 and Jamie Dixon in Ward 3.

"Our vision for Wollongong is a city where everyone feels welcome, whose people are recognised as global leaders in sustainability, with a lifestyle that is the envy of the world."

These are the press releases from the Illawarra Greens during the Council Election 2017.
