Deliver a zero-net emissions organisation.

Delivering a zero-net emissions organisation and transitioning to a renewable energy future.

To do this the Strategy identifies the need to:

  • Implement and report on the organisational zero-net emissions plan
  • Continue to deliver organisational awareness and education programs relating to emissions reductions
  • Pilot and implement feasible emission reduction and renewable energy projects for council operations and infrastructure
  • Expand Council’s integrated clean energy program
  • Facilitate and support the roll-out of a strategic electric vehicle charger network
  • Develop an organisational emissions offsetting policy.
