Going beyond compliance to leadershipFinding areas to reduce costs is important for all local government because costs are rising faster than revenue streams. Electricity and carbon costs remain a big challenge in Australia. With increased pressure on local government to create efficiencies and make cost savings, the smart management of energy efficiency is viewed as one of the most successful means of achieving this.

Local government will play a unique leadership role in this era of change with sustainability growing as a core business and by utilising new technologies can reduce energy costs and consumption to save money and enhance service delivery in the face of rate pressures.

Better managing energy needs and taking simple energy efficient measures will bring financial, reputational and environmental benefits to your council and community.

Are you ready to go beyond compliance to become a leader in energy efficiency and sustainability?

How to finance energy efficiencyPre Conference Workshop B Tuesday, 15th September 2015, 5.00pm – 8.00pm

One of the most challenging barriers in getting energy efficiency off the ground is finding the funding for action. Building a sound and sustainable financial plan to fund energy actions can deliver long term savings that will help your councils cash flow, bottom-line whilst maintaining or enhancing service level.

With constrained and competitive budgets, financing models are providing innovative solutions for councils to continue to achieve energy and cost savings along with a range of additional co-benefits. This workshop will explore new options for financing and methodologies and how to leverage their potential.

Attend this workshop and learn:• Current and emerging options for financing energy efficiency and

renewable energy action: Council and Community• Understanding Councils risk management requirements• How to assess what model of finance will work for your council• How to present the financial benefits of a new financial model to your

executives

Getting building engineers, senior finance executives and other stakeholders engaged, informed and actioning change will help you achieve both your financial and sustainability goals. To do this you must first understand what drives executive buy-in and that the key message and purpose of work is aligned with strategy, finance and policy.

This workshop will show you how to build frameworks and guidelines to ensure your whole organisation is energy efficient.

Attend and learn:• How to effectively communicate and collaborate to achieve energy

efficiency• How to get buy-in to achieve energy efficiency across multiple and varying

internal skill sets and functions

• How to set-up a senior level steering group that will help you set key policy and strategy direction

• How to structure your case for energy efficiency to ensure it is relevant for senior executive buy-in

• How to leverage topicality and common goals to drive energy efficiency
