After creating Protect. Create. Live – Northern Beaches Environment and Climate Change Strategy 2040 back in 2019, Council launched a new interactive dashboard to see how they are tracking against the commitments set out in their strategy.
The dashboard allows everyone to compare data based on different timeframes and locations on the Northern Beaches including how Council and the community are tracking towards net zero, annual water consumption, solar installations, number of trees planted and more.
Currently, the data is being sourced from Beachwatch, Kinesis, Australian PV Institute (APVI), the Bureau of Meteorology, and state government agencies, along with Council reporting. The data will be added as it becomes available.
The Council is also offering the program Charge Ahead which offers information and advice on improving energy efficiency, installing solar (batteries or for strata), electrification and EV charging among other resources.
For more information about the dashboard, contact the Environment, Resilience & Climate Change team on 1300 434 434 or email council@northernbeaches.nsw.gov.au
