Sydney set to be home to Australia’s first urban night sky park

https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/...05-p58xh7.html

might not necessarily shorten the drive for me personally....

What do people think about a dark-ish site down by the water?

I’d still drive up to the mountains but it’s just nice to see the issue being taken seriously

That's a good start I reckon. Let's see if it eventuates.

I get a weekly mail from the climate council and the last one was about sky darkness in western Sydney oddly asking for feedback and possible solutions. I replied and mentioned turning the lights off in the local industrial zones after midnight. Got a reply saying thanks for your enquiry. Asked where do we start? Never heard from anyone again.
