3 Everything the City needs for survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment. There are many definitions of sustainability but it basically incorporates balancing the social, economic and environmental outcomes for current and future generations. Reducing carbon emissions is just one aspect of sustainability and ensuring our City s resilience. The key themes and strategic objectives within this document will enable us to maintain and renew our City assets in a sustainable manner, by ensuring that City Asset Management Policies reflect local government best practice, and that maintenance and service scheduling, and asset renewal in a timely manner maximises the life and performance of the City s infrastructure. This document provides the direction and framework to assist in reducing the City's carbon footprint and rising energy prices.
4 The City of Albany s Community Strategic Plan (Albany 2023) adopted in 2013, has as one of its key themes, to work towards a Clean, Green and Sustainable City. Our community has identified it would like to see renewable energy and energy efficiency practices introduced by the City of Albany sustainable waste practices development and maintenance of relevant and functional infrastructure. The challenge for the City is to focus on its own operations (which include a wide variety of facilities - heritage, community facilities, administration, waste and depot), with the key themes being energy efficiency water management fleet and plant management carbon offset waste management. Carbon Offsets Waste Management Energy Efficiency Clean Green & Sustainable Fleet and Plant Management Water Management 4
5 Many developed countries, including Australia, are now showing declines in power demand as the rapid growth in energy-efficient appliances and buildings start to dominate the market. As governments are significant users of energy in the community, there is an opportunity to increase energy efficiency within the City s operations and to demonstrate to the community it s efforts in reducing energy consumption. As part of this Strategy, energy has been broken down into 4 key areas where the most energy is currently consumed and where the biggest savings can be made. These areas include heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) street lighting internal building lighting alternative energy supply. By encouraging improved energy practices relating to the 4 identified key areas, the City will be able to provide improved services and amenities, while reducing the City s energy use and carbon emissions. 5
6 By educating the community about energy efficiency When local government legislation such as the Town Objective How we ll make it happen We ll know we re succeeding 1.1 To maintain and renew building assets in a sustainable manner 1.2 To advocate for alternative energy sources within our building infrastructure 1.3 To promote energy efficiency technologies and energy conservation By scheduling maintenance, servicing, and renewal in a timely manner that maximises the life and performance of the City s building assets. By working with external relevant agencies to develop an integrated approach. By regular auditing and inspections. By investigating alternative energy sources such as Solar energy systems. By adoption of best practices to reduce energy consumption while maximising our building assets. By sourcing external funding opportunities to support these alternative energy building initiatives. By reviewing and assessing the City s community based buildings current energy usage. By setting an example in constructing new buildings and upgrading current infrastructure with energy efficiency technology. When the operation and maintenance of existing assets are incorporated with energy management practices. When energy efficiency has improved across the City s assets and are comparable with other benchmarked government sectors. When energy audits indicate environmental and financially sustainability, so that building assets continue to function effectively as they age. When alternative energy sources are applied that prove to be financially and environmentally sustainable. When the City is seen as a local government which is a leader in using alternative energy sources within our local community. When we secure external funding opportunities to assist in building upgrades. When we achieve energy efficiency projects that significantly enhance our community based City buildings. When energy efficiency technology has been incorporated into new City buildings and upgraded infrastructure.
7 Water is essential for life, and with the growing pressures on water resources from population growth and the effects of climate change, it is critical for local governments to effectively manage this precious resource. An increase in the capacity to reduce the City s water consumption and improve local water quality can be successful through a number of options in which the City can manage their water use more sustainably. This generally includes but is not limited to improving overall water use efficiency in City facilities improved irrigation systems and scheduling practices improved turf maintenance practices and planting regimes accurate measuring and recording of current water use support for the principles of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) guidelines within the City s subdivisional developments and new infrastructure. By establishing a Water Management Plan, this will benefit the City by providing direction for potential water reduction, financial savings, improved efficiency and conservation. 7
8 Objective How we ll make it happen We ll know we re succeeding when 2.1 To improve water efficiency within City s buildings and facilities 2.2 To improve water management through maintenance and renewal of City assets 2.3 To promote water management and efficiency through education and awareness By partaking in a water wise program to assist in identifying areas of significant water use within City building and facilities. By identifying where opportunities for Improvements exist through the auditing of water use within City infrastructure. By installing equipment that has water efficient technology features. By conducting water auditing to adequately assess the City s water usage and the development of water reduction targets. By scheduling maintenance, servicing and renewal of City assets in a timely manner that maximises the whole of life cost. By prioritising upgrades, retrofits and replacements of City assets within its capital works programs and maintenance schedules. By encouraging staff through education programs such as water wise training, to assist in indentifying where water saving efforts can be made. By promoting the use of water wise vegetation, irrigation techniques and WSUD as part of the City s capital works and maintenance programs. When the City becomes an endorsed water wise council through a recognised local government program. When the City implements water wise improvement programs. When there are demonstrated water efficiency and financial savings within the City s buildings and community facilities. When a review of the City s water audits on its assets demonstrates areas of improvement in water usage. When it can be demonstrated there is an improvement in overall water use in all City assets. When the City develops its annual capital works and maintenance programs with a focus on WSUD. When staff are motivated and inspired to assist in the conservation of water within their own daily work practices. When the City has implemented water management practices when conducting its operational programs.
9 The need to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from transport is becoming a major challenge for business and the community, with transport contributing more than 80% of the CO₂ emissions across Australia. The City of Albany owns, controls, manages and maintains an extensive range of fleet and plant which currently includes 66 fleet vehicles and 85 pieces of plant, with 2014/15 replacements totalling approximately $1.64 m. There are a number of strategies that the City already incorporated in it s operations to achieve a reduction in GHG emissions such as vehicle performance through fuel efficiency measures maintenance, service, and renewal programs driver behaviour programs replacement programs green fleet initiatives. The City has adopted Fleet Management Guidelines (2013) but is yet to formalise a Plant Management Guideline that also addresses GHS emission standards and green initiatives. 9
10 By budgeting for and sourcing external funding opportunities to support these initiatives. When adequate resources are allocated to ensure ongoing training for employee driver awareness. Objective How we ll make it happen We ll know we re succeeding 3.1 To maintain and renew plant assets sustainably 3.2 To advocate for Green initiatives within our fleet and plant management guidelines By scheduling maintenance, servicing and renewal in a timely manner that maximises life and performance of plant. By developing plant management guidelines. By optimising plant replacement to ensure the asset value is maintained. By ensuring that any fleet or plant purchased emit minimal carbon emissions. By establishing carbon emission reduction targets for fleet and plant. By endeavouring to comply with the Australian Vehicle Carbon Emission Standards in accordance to the Green Vehicle Guide (Environment) ratings. When the maintenance, servicing and renewal of the City s plant become financially sustainable. When the City adopts and implements plant management guidelines. When the City undertakes regular reviews and recognise opportunities for fleet and plant disposal and replacement (10 year replacement plan). When the City priority is to purchase fleet and plant that is focused on Green initiatives. When fleet and plant measure the environmental footprint on an ongoing annual basis. When the City has set and endorsed a carbon reduction target for it s fleet and plant assets. 3.3 To develop and implement employee driver awareness By investigating programs for driver awareness and driver safety such as Eco Driving to assist in reducing carbon emissions. By developing an in house program to improve City staff driver behaviour, attitude, awareness, motivation and skills. When the City has adopted a program for driver safety that addresses driver behaviour related to the reduction of carbon emissions. When staff have attended driver awareness programs or workshops aimed at implementing vehicle and driver awareness strategies.
11 Most people recognise that trees play an essential role in the environment by providing oxygen and absorbing carbon in the atmosphere. Depending on the type, size and condition of a tree, the average single tree can absorb as much as 22 kilos of carbon in a year. Tree planting initiatives such as street tree planting can also add value to our community by providing shade and protection from the elements reducing heat and glare improving mental health and well-being providing habitats for a diversity of fauna adding moisture and oxygen to the air enhance aesthetics within the streetscape. The City is currently developing a street tree database that will include a City wide audit of street tree specimens. This information will be used to formulate a tree management and planting strategy throughout the City. The planting strategy will enable the City to develop and retain attractive and sustainable streetscapes, while reducing our carbon footprint. 11
12 Objective How we ll make it happen We ll know we re succeeding when 4.1 To enhance, beautify and Green the City of Albany By collecting data about street trees through an independent audit to establish asset value.

When maintenance works are undertaken on identified trees under the guidance of a qualified Arborist.
13 . The waste sector GHG emissions accounted for 3 per cent of Australia s total domestic emissions in 2009 (Dept of Environment ). Waste management involves the monitoring, collection, transport, processing and disposal of waste materials to deliver cost-effective and environmentally sustainable waste management solutions. The Strategic Waste Plan (2014) analyses the current operations and develops action plans to improve services and reduce waste to landfill. The actions indentified within the City s Waste Strategy include coordinate a regional approach with adjacent local governments review of landfill data collection systems increase recycling to minimize waste stream to landfill facilitate education programs manage City waste management facilities to environmental best practice Continual improvement of the City's waste services and operational requirements and processes investigation into new waste technology. This Strategy will continue its alignment with the Waste Management Board of Western Australia s Zero Waste Plan Development Scheme, and therefore it is important the City maintains it s efforts to reduce the waste stream to landfill. 13
