Day Outline
Background
• Set up in 2001
• The first and largest of 10 Alliances covering 74 Victorian Councils
• Membership: 13 central and northern Victorian councils• Gannawarra Shire Council• Buloke Shire Council• Loddon Shire Council• Central Goldfields Shire Council• Rural City of Ararat• Hepburn Shire Council• Mount Alexander Shire Council• Macedon Ranges Shire Council• Northern Grampians Shire Council• Pyrenees Shire Council• City of Greater Bendigo• City of Ballarat
• Currently 3 PT staff, adding 2-3 more staff next year for Projects & Advocacy
Why The Alliance
Exists
“Zero-net GHG Emissions by 2050”
The Alliance provides member councils with a vehicle and a
forum in which to be bold and creative in the Climate
Change space.
Our Strategy:
BE USEFUL!
• Leverage the FUNDING APPEAL of small and large regional Councils
• Leverage the ADVOCACY POTENTAL of a large part of regional Victoria
• Even-out RESOURCE DISPARITIES across municipalities
• ACCELERATE TAKE-UP of successful projects
• Identify and achieve EFFICIENCIES
• FUND AND COORDINATE projects that are valuable to more than one council

Waste to Energy Micro-Power Station
Network
Energy from Organic Waste Implementation Strategy
Toward Zero Emissions
Aims
Council has spent over two years assessing the feasibility for a small scale readily deployable waste to energy solution which will:
• Assist Council to become carbon neutral
• Convert organic waste into a valuable fuel source
• Reduce waste to landfill
• Reduce Council energy costs.
• Can be replicated elsewhere
27 January 2017 Hepburn Shire Council 15
Implementation Strategy
Funded with the assistance of SV, engaged Consultants – Wood and Grieve Engineers to:
• Review feedstock alternatives
• Review alternative WtE technical Solutions
• Develop business cases to incorporate WtE solution in proposed community/council facility
• Develop tender ready detailed WtE system design

Solution
27 January 2017 Hepburn Shire Council 18
Organic Waste Processing Plant at
Daylesford Transfer Station including:
• Receiving bunker
• Hammer mill
• Macerator
• Slurry storage tanks
Anaerobic Digester Co-generation Plant
at Daylesford Town Hall including:
• Anaerobic digester system
• Methane storage tank
• Two micro turbines
Key Outcomes
• Meet 70% of power and heating needs of proposed Council facility
• $2,250,000 benefit to Council over 25 years
• Divert 1,200 tonnes pa of organic waste from landfill
• Avoid GHG emissions of 2,000 tonnes pa
• Containerised system solution will allow ready adaptation to the sites and uses
27 January 2017 Hepburn Shire Council 19
New Energy Job Fund Support
Council has received funding from the NEJF to:
• Further develop the Hepburn project business case
• Conduct a peer review of the proposed project recommendations
• Conduct an EOI process to test the market for industry capability, expertise and pricing
This will strengthen Council’s ability to seek implementation co-funding opportunities

Waste-to-Energy Micro-Power Station Network
Collective Cloud GHG Emissions Tracking Project
Waste-to-Energy Micro-Power Station Network:
Proof of Concept
• Expanding on Hepburn Shire’s ground-breaking project, 6 participating
Councils:• Hepburn Shire Council• Pyrenees Shire Council• Central Goldfields Shire Council• City of Ballarat• Macedon Ranges Shire Council• Mount Alexander Shire Council
• Funded through the Collaborative Councils – Sustainability Fund, with contributions from, the City of Ballarat and Macedon Ranges Shire Council
Waste-to-Energy Micro-Power Station Network:
Project Brief
• Equivalent to a 6MW Co-Generation power plant spread over 70
sites
• Cuts Council GHG Emissions by 80,000 tonnes p.a. (20,000 cars)
• Converts 43,000 tonnes of Green Waste into:
• <4.4 MW of electricity & 6 MW of heat• 10,000m3 of class A water• 3000 tonnes of nutrient rich ‘soil conditioner’
Waste-to-Energy Micro-Power Station Network:
Initial Business Case
Converts Council liability of $3 - $4 million p.a. into
Council saving of $12 million p.a.
• Payback: > 4 years
• ROI: over 21%
• 20 year saving: < $200 million
Waste-to-Energy Micro-Power Station Network:
Investment
• CapEx: $33 million over 6 Councils
• Financing Option:
• Green Bond issue (2.45% p.a.) - Clean Energy Finance Corporation
• Centralized Management through MAV’s “Local Government Funding Vehicle”
