 Going
Places - Building Sustainable Communities
Going Places program was first developed at the initiative of
City of Darebin in 2006.
The program became an astounding success within its first six months of
launch. After the success of Green Travel Travel Program, Kate Myers
designed this program to further take the Sustainable initiative deeper into
community. The program is open to residents of the City Council who pledge
to make two less trips by car. It recognises and rewards them for their
effort. The local businesses also chip in to provide rewards such as discount vouchers
or promotions for Sustainable Community. This increases interaction between local people
(or who work there) and local businesses.
 Green
Traveller or not, Going Places is a program for everyone
Going places involves everyone into community. It is not restrictive about
Greener Modes of travel and the emphasis is on building a community that
responds to sustainability. The program includes everyone and motivates them
to do, what they can, for sustainability, in a way they can. This way, the
change in behaviour is permanent and sustainable. The program provides
participants and program managers the valuable contribution that it is
making.  Program
