Strategy
City of Monash Conservation and Environment Strategy
This Strategy is currently under Review.
Greenhouse Action Plan
In 2002, Monash demonstrated its commitment to greenhouse gas abatement by joining the voluntary based Cities for Climate ProtectionTM program.
As part of the program, the Greenhouse Action Plan was developed which identified the key opportunities and challenges associated with greenhouse gas abatement and set a target of 15% reduction in corporate greenhouse gas emissions and 10% in community greenhouse gas emissions.
The activities implemented from the Action Plan include:
- retrofitting buildings with energy efficient appliances, such as time switches controlling energy use, efficient air conditioners and heaters and 5 star gas instantaneous hot water services;
- reducing waste-to-landfill by introducing and improving kerb-side recycling and green waste collection;
- passive solar designed buildings that minimise the need for energy consumption for heating and cooling; and
- the purchasing of fuel efficient cars, including replacing utility vehicles with 2 door hatchbacks and Diesel fuelled vehicles.
