Carbon Neutrality and 100% Renewables Action Plan 2019-2025

At next Wednesday’s April 3 Ballarat Council Meeting (from 7pm) we are looking for as many as possible to make spoken submissions on the Carbon Neutrality and 100% Renewables Action Plan 2019-2025 being championed by Belinda. I have attached an image with the guidelines but basically you ring 5320 5875 before 4.30pm on the day and register to speak prior to the matter being addressed on the agenda.

It won’t be for everyone but at the same time it’s not too intimidating and can be really rewarding. Simply attending the meeting to offer support and cheer at the appropriate moments would also be wonderful of course.

I’ve attached a copy of the most recent draft of the plan that I have access to – the final draft can be read in the agenda which is now online. If you could let me know if you intend to register or attend we can get an idea of the numbers.
