Supporting community renewable energy

Actions One and Five of our Climate Emergency Response Plan states the Mornington Peninsula Shire will “Lead in the Climate Emergency” and “Mobilise and Strengthen Community Action”.

Delivering on this commitment, the Shire ran community workshops led by Community Power Agency (CPA) in 2021. The result of those workshops is the establishment of Repower Mornington peninsula and the following guide on renewable energy opportunities that are both feasible and desirable in the Mornington Peninsula context.
