Project Overview
In 2019-2020, Wagga Wagga City Council invested $1.7 million in a series of energy-saving projects designed to reduce energy consumption, lower operating costs and increase the use of renewable energy across Council facilities. The program focused on reducing reliance on gas and electricity through energy-efficient technology upgrades and the use of solar power. Council worked in partnership with the NSW Government Office of Environment and Heritage to develop technical specifications and identify suitable energy-saving solutions.
These improvements reduced maintenance requirements, improved lighting quality, decreased energy consumption and supported Council's commitment to sustainable operations.
The projects were funded and delivered by Wagga Wagga City Council.
