Energy Policy: Facts and Fantasy
Australia’s energy transition is well under way and kicking goals with renewables producing almost 40% of Australia's electricity and rising. Australia has a detailed plan to transition its energy system. It's been developed by experts and it's called the Integrated Systems Plan (ISP). That’s the good news. So why all this talk of nuclear? How do we sort the facts from the spin?
Dr Dylan McConnell, renewable energy & energy systems analyst at UNSW Sydney, will give us the facts and identify the potential wrong turns on the road to a clean energy future. Dylan has extensive experience in analysing the electricity sector in Australia and is a regular contributor to the public conversation on energy policy.
Boroondara Candidates Forum 2024
Council elections are coming up in October. What's at stake? Are you concerned about protecting tree canopy and green spaces? Do you want to see progress on walkable neighbourhoods, electrification leading to lower energy bills, support for cycling and putting on solar, benefitting all Boroondara residents?
Join this forum to meet your Ward candidates and ask them questions about the issues you care about. Jono La Nauze, CEO of Environment Victoria will kick off the evening, then we will break out into separate Ward based sessions to hear from the Boroondara Council candidates, and find out what their plans are for a climate-friendly future for Boroondara. Instructions on joining the Ward based sessions will be provided to you on the night.
