Project Update - July 2023

We have been preparing the next stage of the Wollongong City Council Climate Change Mitigation Plan 2023-30. The plan will map the pathway for how Council and the community can work together toward a net zero Wollongong.

A big focus of the new plan will be on electrification, energy efficiency and renewable energy generation. That means encouraging households and businesses to switch from fossil fuel appliances and vehicles to efficient all-electric alternatives that are cleaner, cheaper to run and better for the planet.

We have set up an Electrify Wollongong hub on the Wollongong City Council website. Head there to learn more about the 'how' and 'why' of electrification and then make a plan to upgrade to electric appliances and vehicles when your current ones are due for replacement.

Stay tuned for updates of the Climate Change Mitigation Plan 2023-30. We are currently circulating an internal draft and preparing for public exhibition soon.
