Council is developing a new plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Council operations and support the community on reducing emissions across the Adelaide Hills.
The plan is being developed to:
• Ensure Council continues to demonstrate sustainability leadership.
• Identify new opportunities for both Council and community to reduce emissions.
• Provide a clear emissions reduction pathway.
Stage 1 - Complete
Council ran two focus group sessions at Council's Woodside Office to hear thoughts and ideas from the community. A diverse group of people with varied skill sets and backgrounds provided feedback which, was then considered as part of finalising the plan towards the end of 2024. Based on the community focus group sessions, the below key priorities were identified. A full report on this feedback and other considerations is available here.
Council would like to thank those who participated in our focus group sessions which went really well. The draft Carbon Management Plan is now ready for wider community feedback.
