Zero Emissions Noosa Inc. (ZEN Inc.) Annual Report · ATTACHMENT 1_ZEN Inc. Report on Partnership Alliance Agreement to Council 2024

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) and ZEN
TAG (Transport). 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. ZEN TAG’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
annual EV Expo is ZEN Inc’s flagship event in this regard.

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