GCC Climate Change Mitigation Action Plan

Consultation has concluded

Feedback for this project is now closed.


Glenorchy City Council is seeking feedback from the Community on how Council plans to reduce its own greenhouse gas emissions.

On this page you can:

Glenorchy City Council (Council) recognises the importance of acting on climate change and understands that the primary measure Council can take in this regard is to actively reduce its own greenhouse gas emissions.

In Council’s Annual Plan for 2023 Council committed: To develop a climate change mitigation action plan for reducing Council’s greenhouse gas emissions. This document is that plan.

Council is a member of the Regional Climate Change Initiative (RCCI) which is a collaboration of the 12 southern Tasmanian Councils. It is aimed at supporting and responding to the challenges of climate change. As part of this collaboration Council recently took part in a Carbon and Energy Footprint assessment of the Council, which assessed and detailed the Council’s corporate greenhouse gas emissions over the previous three financial years 19/20, 20/21, and 21/22. Key findings of this Carbon and Energy Footprint assessment are provided in the draft Climate Change Mitigation Action Plan and are used to inform the proposed actions.

If you wish to discuss anything further, or to request a paper survey, please contact Council's Manager Property, Environment and Waste: Luke Chiu via phone: (03) 6216 6800 or via email: gccmail@gcc.tas.gov.au.

Community Consultation ends 5pm Thursday, 18 April 2024. This has now closed.
