In late 2020, Zero Emissions Noosa starting researching Community / Neighbourhood batteries to help on the journey towards the goal of zero net community emissions by 2026. With Council funding we commissioned a report by experts to inform us, and a working group with strong credentials was formed in mid 2021. Follow this page to keep up to date with our progress

What is the Project / proposal about?

An environmental upgrade is an addition, enhancement, or modification to an existing building to improve its energy, water and resource efficiency.

Plans to transform the Rufous Street precinct at Peregian Beach into an “energy hub” is one of a number of ambitious projects being undertaken by Zero Emissions Noosa Inc (ZEN) in 2022.

The site at Peregian Beach already houses the highly successful Digital Hub and the recently completed new community house. Proponents argue that the development of an “energy hub” at the site would complete the trifecta.
