Climate Action Moreland surveyed candidates, asking them to sign a climate emergency declaration, which is in keeping with the existing declaration by Council in 2018. Forums for candidates were run for each of the three Council Wards.

Responses will be published on posts for each ward that will contain the list of candidates, party affiliation or alignment (if any), public contact information (website, facebook, twitter if available), and their answers. We may also add extra information or links to 3rd party websites where we think it empowers voters on making an informed decision at the ballot box.

• South Ward Candidate List and responses – 3 councillors to be elected
• North East Ward Candidate List and responses – 4 councillors to be elected
• North West Ward Candidate List and responses – 4 councillors to be elected
