Our journey

What council has achieved in the past in energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable transport or broader sustainability

Council has been working on sustainability initiatives for many years and has recently finalised and endorsed the Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Plan 2020. This plan contains many new renewable energy options for Council infrastructure which will be rolled out over the coming years.

What council hopes to achieve in the future in energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable transport or broader sustainability

With the adoption of the Efficiency & Renewable Energy Plan 2020, Council hopes to achieve 100% renewables in the Cowra Shire by 2030. This will be by implementing the short, medium and long-term infrastructure projects in a cost-effective and efficient way.

Council is excited to be part of such a collaborative partnership and is looking forward to working with all of the like-minded Shires in the future.
