Low Carbon Communities
The Low Carbon Communities is part of the Gillard Labor Government’s plan to lower pollution and cut energy bills where we live, work and travel.
Councils and their facilities are at the heart of many communities and will be at the forefront of our community response to climate change
A Gillard Labor Government will provide $80 million to support local councils and communities to take action on climate change and transition to a greener, cheaper future.
The Low Carbon Communities initiative will help local councils and communities to cut pollution and reduce their energy costs through energy efficient upgrades to street lighting, community facilities and council buildings.
The initiative will also assist communities to reduce pollution through investment in cogeneration facilities or energy efficient upgrades to community sites such as stadiums, education facilities, town halls or nursing homes.
