NOOSA ENVIRONMENT STRATEGY - YEAR THREE (2021/2022) IMPLEMENTATION PLAN ANNUAL UPDATED · Attachment 1 - Summary of action outcomes

Attachment 1 - Year Three (2021/2022) Summary of progress against actions of the Environment Strategy Implementation Plan.


31. Investigate emission reduction                New vertical wells have been installed and gas capture has increased significantly. Staff are in
     opportunities at Noosa landfill for          ongoing discussions with LMS energy for future emissions reduction opportunities.
     reducing the creation of methane-based       In addition to the role out of the Green waste bins, the Waste team are currently working
     emissions.                                   towards producing a strategy to reduce organic waste to landfill. These initiatives are to be
                                                  incorporated into the Noosa Waste Strategy 2023-2027.

32. Implement energy efficiencies throughout      Over 680 kW of solar has now been installed across Council buildings and facilities, resulting in
    Council-owned facilities and operations,      emissions reductions and cost savings.
    such as the installation of solar PV
    systems and use of lower-emission
    transport options.
33. Investigate Noosa Council’s future            The 2021/22 Carbon footprint was 45,259 tonnes CO2e. This was a 12% reduction on the
    emission offset possibilities, identifying    previous year’s carbon footprint.
    the options with the most environmental,
    social and economic co-benefits.
