Outcome 2<br />
Response to the issue<br />
<strong>Council</strong>s are only likely to be directly covered by the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) if they<br />
operate a landfill, and the methane emissions from that landfill exceed the threshold set under the CPRS.<br />
(currently proposed to be 25 kilotonnes of CO2-e emissions)<br />
<strong>Hawkesbury</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Council</strong> owns and operates the <strong>Hawkesbury</strong> <strong>City</strong> Waste Management Facility and<br />
therefore is captured under the National <strong>Report</strong>ing scheme. Under this Act, <strong>Council</strong> must calculate by<br />
direct monitoring the emissions from the facility. These emissions added with the electricity and diesel<br />
used complete the total emissions. The emissions from the Waste Management Facility are not included<br />
within this organisational environmental footprint.<br />
Future directions<br />
<strong>Hawkesbury</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Council</strong> will continue to monitor and record its organisations environmental footprint eg<br />
waste, energy water, street lighting and fleet management to enable an accurate measure of our Green<br />
House emissions.<br />
