Solar Cities - a Vision of the Future
The Solar Cities program is trialing energy options now so that we have information to manage energy into the future, reduce greenhouse gases and protect Australia's environment. It is a partnership approach that involves all levels of Government, the private sector and the local community.
The announced Solar Cities are Adelaide, Townsville, Blacktown, Alice Springs and Central Victoria. Solar Cities consortia are working with industry, businesses and their local communities to rethink the way they produce and use energy.
During 2007 the Australian Government made an election commitment to expand the Solar Cities program to include Perth and Coburg. Work is underway to create these new Solar Cities and more information will become available on this site soon.
