Meeting papers

Through our planning process we have developed strategic priorities for the next three years
framed around our two key goals:


    ●   Promoting community actions to achieve net zero emissions.
    ●   Developing a sustainable organisation


This strategic plan is not a static document and the Board, and its working groups will give
ongoing consideration to ideas and suggestions that have been put to us as well as giving
consideration to an increasingly dynamic and challenging environment throughout the period
of this plan.
Each year we will report on how we have delivered on this strategy at our annual general
meeting and through our annual report.


Organisational Description


Zero Emissions Noosa Inc (ZEN Inc), established in 2016, is an incorporated, not-for-profit,
community organisation with the key objective of assisting the Noosa community achieve net
zero emissions in the Noosa local government area. ZEN Inc has been actively pursuing
several strategies aimed at achieving this objective.


It is the leading community organisation in this field and the only community organisation
solely dedicated to emissions reduction across the Noosa Shire.


The two key objectives of the organisation have been to drive projects in the stationary
electricity and transport areas aimed at assisting individuals, businesses, and the community
at large, in contributing to emissions reduction.


The core work of the organisation is carried out by two working groups – ZEN E (Electricity),
ZENTAG (Transport) and the EV & Electrify Everything Expo. The focus of ZEN E’s work is
on projects that assist in reducing emissions in the stationary electricity sector with initiatives
that assist a greater uptake of solar as well as storage and other initiatives. ZENTAG’s focus
is on reducing emissions from transport by encouraging, advocating and demonstrating low
emissions alternatives to the dominant petrol / diesel driven motor vehicle. The Expo
Working Group focuses on the annual EV & Electrify Everything Expo is ZEN Inc’s flagship
event.


Organisational support is provided through the work of three sub-committees; Finance &
Fundraising; Governance & Operations; and Communications & Advocacy.
