This project investigates how councils, developers and energy providers can work together to deliver energy sharing schemes in NSW communities and improve the communities’ energy resilience. The outcome of the project will be a blueprint for councils on how to encourage energy sharing schemes in NSW through their development controls.
Landcom’s Macarthur Gardens North project has been selected as a potential pilot site to implement the blueprint and an energy sharing scheme.
Landcom is also partnering with Campbelltown City Council and Lake Macquarie City Council to install smart sensors at Macarthur Gardens North and Fennell Bay. The goal is to monitor air temperature and quality pre and post-development. The installation of smart sensors will allow Landcom to measure our impact at a site through the development process, and subsequently allow us to develop strategies to reduce or mitigate this impact.
These projects were selected as they are currently pre-development and located in Local Government Areas with existing smart city programs. The data collected onsite will be absorbed by Councils’ existing monitoring portals, and made available to Landcom.
