Ea	COMMUNITY CARBON EMISSIONS

Ea1	Key Area 1: Assist people to go renewable

a	Objectives

	1 Large solar installations on high impact sites.
	2 Collective impact - support solar installations on smaller residential and 
	  commercial buildings.
	3 Support residents and businesses locked out to access renewable energy.

b	Major action areas

	Establish an Office of Renewable Energy Innovation to:

	1 Implement Solar My School
	2 Develop an Inner West Solar Garden
	3 Link community energy groups with potential host sites
	4 Seek expressions of interest and engage community/private sector organisations to 
	  pilot innovative business and policy models that rapidly increase renewable energy 
	  uptake
	5 Promote the installation of solar on commercial and industrial sites through local 
	  business networks and Sustainable Business Consultations.
	6 Provide a clear process and guidelines for any properties that require development 
	  consent 
	  for solar, including waiving development application fees.
	7 Establish an Inner West community energy practitioner network.

c	Trends:

	1 Community emissions are decreasing
	2 Installed solar capacity in the Inner West is increasing
	3 Waste to landfill is decreasing

d	Targets by 2036:

	1 Community emissions are 75% less than in 2017
	2 100% of schools have installed solar
	3 Inner West community solar PV capacity is 20 times greater than in 2017

Ea2	Key Area 2: Zero carbon buildings and precincts

a	Objectives

	1 Increase the environmental performance of buildings in the Inner West.
	2 Work with state agencies, private sector and the community to work 
	  towards zero-carbon precincts and neighbourhoods.

b	Major action areas

	1 Increase building environmental performance standards in Inner West Council planning controls - 
	  higher BASIX benchmarks* and NABERs pre-commitments
	2 Develop innovative planning controls that support low carbon precincts (Parramatta Road, 
	  Camperdown-Ultimo Collaboration Precinct and Sydenham to Bankstown) and assess opportunities 
	  for:

		b2a Decentralised energy, water, waste;
		b2b Setting aside land for multifunctional place needs.
		b2c Parking policy innovations to support liveability outcomes -unbundled parking, 
		    decoupled parking, no/low parking.
		b2d 30-40km/hour streets to deliver a safe cycle and pedestrian network.

	3 Potential future Council managed precinct developments to demonstrate highest possible 
	  environmental performance standard ,e.g. target 6-star Green Star or equivalent standard.

The Inner West wants highly connected neighbourhoods, where people can access the places they need to
go by foot, cycle or public transport 

* requires approval of NSW Department of Planning and Environment

Ea3	Key Area 3: Zero emissions mobility

The management of transport will be covered in the Inner West Going Places - An Integrated Transport
Strategy for the Inner West that is currently under development.

a	Objectives

	1 Implement "Going Places - An Integrated Transport Strategy for the Inner West (Draft 2019)"

The Inner West transport hierarchy has been prioritised to maximise benefits for people, with active 
transport, along with facilities for people living with a disability and specialist transport services 
that will support vulnerable persons such as older people, at the top of the hierarchy. 

Within the category of private vehicles and taxis, modes are further split to prioritise those that 
Support shared use of vehicles, encourage reduced car ownership and reduce environmental 
impacts.

The transport hierarchy centres on the principle that we are all primarily pedestrians, as virtually 
all trips begin and end with walking. 

Increased walking trips will reduce our carbon footprint,improve our physical health, and foster a 
greater sense of community.

To increase walking, cycling and public transport use, major investment in supporting infrastructure 
must occur to make these modes of travel more attractive, safe and convenient.

By prioritising the movement of people over the movement of vehicles, we can free up road space 
for those that really need to use this mode of travel out of necessity, including deliveries and
emergency transport.

b	Major action areas

	1 Walking, facilities for people living with a disability, specialist transport services,
	2 Cycling, personal Mobility devices, bicycle deliveries 
	3 Public transport
	4 Delivery services and freight
	5 Rideshare/taxis, carpool, carshare, motorbikes, private electric vehicles, private 
	  non-electric vehicles

Ea4	Key Area 4: Community partnerships and support

a	Objectives

	1 Support Inner West people to live low-carbon lifestyles.

b	Major action areas

	1 Implement low-carbon information/media campaigns via social media, events and programs.
	2 Deliver Green Living Centre and sustainability support programs and projects with local 
	  groups, schools, businesses, networks, community gardens and community members.
	3 Deliver practical support for residents and community groups through:
		a  Annual Environment Grants.
		b  Annual Community Leaders in Sustainability Course.
		c  Community Gardens support and network meetings.
		d  Inner West Sustainable Schools support and network meetings.
		e  Solar my School.
	4 Provide specialist consultation services to local businesses to address carbon emissions 
	  through energy efficiency, renewable energy, waste management and resource recovery.
	5 Acknowledge businesses and strengthen networks via the bi-annual Inner West Sustainable 
	  Business Awards.

Ea5	Key Area 5: Zero waste and a thriving share economy

The management of waste and recovery of resources will be covered in the Inner West Zero Waste
Strategy which is currently under development. 

a	Objectives

	1 Implement the Zero Waste Strategy so that organics can be diverted from landfill and 
	  neighbourhoods have access to reuse and recycling facilities and services.

	2 Increase information and support for people to share, avoid, reduce, reuse, repair and 
	  recycle.

b	Major action areas

	1  Provide kerbside services to divert organics from landfill.

	2  Develop an Inner West Reuse and Recycling Centre.

	3  Provide services and facilities that increase recycling.

	4  Prepare an Inner West community information campaign on zero waste.

	5  Expand community-based share services through libraries.

	6  Engage the community in and promote local share goods and services.

	7  Provide clear regulation, advocacy and management around local sharing schemes to avoid 
	   loss of social licence and impact on local communities e.g. bike-share dumping, AirBnB 
	   impacts on amenity and affordable housing.

	8  Promote and partner with others to support sharing e.g. Green Caffeen swap-and-go coffee 
	   cups, The Bower's repair cafes and rehoming service.

	9  Run capacity building training through Community Leaders in Sustainability Program.

	10 Run the annual Environmental Grants program to support new community-led sharing.

	11 Plan for the physical spaces needed to support sharing e.g. carsharing spaces in new 
	   developments and local neighbourhoods, community gardening on Council land, including 
	   share spaces - kitchens, food growing, recreation and entertainment spaces - in new 
	   developments.
