Twenty-eight sites have been fully electrified as part of planned or reactive maintenance works, 19 switchboards have been upgraded (to facilitate future site needs including electrification) and 9 electric hot water services have been installed as part of partial site electrification.
In 2025, three sites, based on age, efficiency, return on investment and emission reduction have been selected for electrification.
Council's approach to electrification continues to mature.
Electrification of smaller Council and community buildings is reducing costs for Council and building users and improving indoor air quality.
Work on larger, more complex sites is ongoing.
