13 NOVEMBER 2012<br />

Issue<br />

SOCIAL<br />

demonstrate best practice, leading by example in<br />

encouraging residents to adopt energy efficiency measures.<br />

Issue<br />

Business innovation<br />

ECONOMIC<br />

Comment<br />

This proposal has the opportunity to demonstrate to <strong>City</strong><br />

businesses that significant and long-term savings can be<br />

achieved through initial investment in energy efficiency<br />

measures.<br />

Conclusion<br />

In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, a Corporate Energy Management Plan was<br />

commissioned and is now presented to Council for endorsement. This plan recommends<br />

energy efficiency and alternative/renewable energy actions for the <strong>City</strong> to pursue in order to<br />

reduce energy consumption, annual energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions from<br />

property assets.<br />

It is predicted that if these actions are completed, the <strong>City</strong> could reduce property based<br />

greenhouse gas emissions by 32% which in turn could provide an overall reduction on the<br />

<strong>City</strong>’s greenhouse gas emissions by 14%. It is recommended that Council endorse the<br />

Corporate Energy Management Plan as an informing document for the development <strong>of</strong> an<br />

Energy Efficiency Action and Implementation Plan.<br />
