		INNER WEST COUNCIL DRAFT "CLIMATE+RENEWABLES STRATEGY [CaRS]"

	Responding to the Climate Emergency - Climate Change Mitigation - August 2019 

		Eb	KEY FOCUS AREA - COUNCIL CARBON EMISSIONS

	Inner West Council Corporate Targets:

	1 Carbon neutral and 100% renewable electricity by 2025

	2 100% divestment from fossil fuel

	Trends:

	1 Emissions from Council operations are decreasing

	2 Waste is decreasing 

	3 The proportion of renewable energy used in council operations is increasing

		Eb1	Key area 1: Use less electricity 				37
		Eb2	Key area 2: Switch to renewables 				37
		Eb3	Key area 3: Transition to a sustainable fleet			37
		Eb4	Key area 4: Sustainable procurement 				38
		Eb5	Key area 5: Zero waste 						38
		Eb6	Key area 6: Carbon neutral 					38

Key area 1: Use less electricity

a	Objectives

	1 Embed energy management across all Council areas.

b	Major Action Areas

	1 Implement an accelerated replacement program of inefficient street lights with efficient LED on 
	  residential streets and main roads.

	2 Implement an energy-efficiency capital works program.

	3 Provide staff with support for energy savings through information, engagement, consumption 
	  monitoring and reporting.

	4 Embed energy management in council systems e.g. performance plans, licenses and leases.

Key area 2: Switch to renewables

a	Objectives

	1 Generate renewable energy on all appropriate Council facilities.

	2 Source large-scale renewable energy off-site.

	3 Phase out natural gas.

b	Major Action Areas

	1 Implement the Inner West Council solar capital-works program.

	2 Include renewable energy on all new facilities subject to site 
	  feasibility.

	3 Plan for and undertake procurement for renewable electricity via 
	  a #2 Power Purchase Agreement by 2022.

	4 Investigate the feasibility of biofuel for Inner West Council 
	  cogeneration systems.

	5 Progressively switch from gas to electric as the proportion f renewable 
	  energy increases.

Key area 3: Transition to a sustainable fleet

a	Objectives

	1 Deliver a low or zero-emissions fleet that meets the operational 
	  needs of Council.

	2 Review fleet policy.

b	Major Action Areas

	1 Prepare and implement a sustainable fleet-transition plan.

	2 Investigate the decoupling of private use and leaseback vehicles from 
	  recruitment and retention.

	3 Participate in the Charge Together Program to progress the transition - 
	  supported by government, industry and the Electric Vehicle Council.

	4 Identify stages and funding sources for the transition plan.

Key area 4: Sustainable procurement

a	Objectives

	1 Manage emissions from equipment and supply chain through whole-of-Council 
	  sustainable procurement.

b	Major Action Areas

	1 Divest from fossil fuels.

	2 Develop and implement a sustainable procurement policy and guidelines.

	3 Ensure tenders and purchasing minimise energy and carbon emissions.

	4 Develop communications, information and tools for staff around no-single-use 
	  plastics at Council events and facilities.

Key area 5: Zero waste

a	Objectives

	1 Reduce waste generation.

	2 Increase composting and recycling across all areas.

b	Major Action Areas

	1 Improve operations and management to increase the diversion of green waste 
	  from parks and streetscape activities.
	
	2 Introduce organic waste collections at Council facilities and from operations 
	  through new and existing processing contracts.

	3 Make recycling easy for staff, embed recycling in operations and provide the right 
	  tools and equipment at all work places.

Key area 6: Carbon neutral

a	Objectives

	1 Achieve real carbon savings with local projects before offsetting

b	Major Action Areas

	1 Implement a program of energy avoidance, energy efficiency and renewable energy to 
	  achieve real carbon savings

	2 Purchase genuine carbon offsets (approved under the National Carbon Offsets Standard) 
	  for residual emissions to be carbon neutral by 2025.
