City of Fremantle to consider limiting fossil fuel advertising on council buildings and property

 Several City of Fremantle councillors have thrown their support behind a proposal to investigate ridding council buildings and events of fossil fuel promotion.

At a meeting last night, a motion was put forward calling for the chief executive to investigate ways to control or restrict advertising and sponsorships from companies whose main business is the extraction or sale of coal, oil and gas.

Councillors on the Finance, Policy, Operations and Legislation Committee voted in support of the motion, six to one.

A formal position will be reached when the full council meets later this month. With a majority of councillors already indicating their support, the motion is likely to pass.
