Description
Council joined the Cities Power Partnership (CPP) in October 2021.
The CPP is Australia’s largest network of local councils leading the way to a thriving, zero emissions future. The program is run by the Climate Council and is made up of over 180 councils from across the country, representing over 70% of the Australian population.
Councils that join CCP make five action pledges to tackle climate change.
At the September 2023 Council meeting, Indigo committed to the following 5 pledges:
- Develop supportive planning laws to encourage residents and industry to adopt renewable energy.
- Ensure Council fleet purchases meet strict greenhouse gas emissions requirements and support the uptake of electric vehicles.
- Set city-level renewable energy or emissions reduction targets.
- Develop education and behaviour-change programs to support local residents and businesses to tackle climate change through clean energy, energy efficiency and sustainable transport.
- Develop procurement policy to ensure that the practices of contractors and financers align with council’s renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainable transport goals.
