Successful Community Battery Information Sessions Held
More than 40 people attended the Cooroy session, and over 60 were present at The J, Noosa Junction making our community battery information sessions a big success. The events provided an opportunity for attendees to learn about community batteries, their benefits, and ways to bring them to their neighborhoods. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart opened the Cooroy session and State Member for Noosa, Sandy Bolton joined Clare to open the session at The J, Noosa Junction.
The attendees were updated on the progress towards a greener future in Noosa, including our confidence that a community battery will be coming to Noosaville this year. Participants also learned about the next round of Australian Government funding for additional community batteries in the Noosa Shire and our roadmap project aimed at preparing the groundwork for the installation of 100+ community batteries in the area.
An optional session in the last hour of the event focused on teaching participants how to bring a community battery to their neighborhood, covering topics such as selecting the perfect location and engaging the local community. This session aimed to inspire community leaders to drive the green energy revolution in their areas.
We're absolutely thrilled that many people expressed interest in organizing and planning for a community battery in their neighborhood, so we’ve created a webpage showing how to get started.
