Some points worth considering for the survey include:
1) Limiting sky glow over Hobart and surrounding suburbs, 2) Ecology – environment and wildlife, including the sensitive nature of the peninsular surrounded by water, 3) Protecting Aurora Australis and night sky viewing

This is big news in light pollution mitigation. Imagine being mandated to turn off unnecessary outdoor lighting and including sensors in those that are?

Good job NYC.

Let us know how the vote goes. @IDADarkSky @SkyTasmania @Lando5000 @urbanlightlab @mayodarkskies @kyraxavia

This looks like something everyone who works with light, makes health policies and develops urban areas should attend. #lightpollution #humanhealth @IES_ANZ @darkskyalliance @circadian247 @NSWDPIE @NSWHealth
