Alternative to Bottled Water - At Last

Guardian Express, 2nd October, 2013

Back on 18th December 2007, Vincent Council endorsed my notice of motion to minimise the use of bottled water at Council functions and activities, because of the financial and environmental cost of plastic bottles. On 26th February, 2008, officers provided a plan of action that broadly supported the motion but noted that there would be adverse effects on Beatty Park revenue which meant that alternatives would need further investigation.

I am extremely pleased to see that at last, five and a half years later, these investigations have finally borne fruit.
