A Noosa green energy lobby group is advocating council gradually increase electric vehicle only parking spaces as part of its emissions reduction strategy for climate change. Zero Emissions Noosa s response to Noosa Council s draft Climate Change Response Plan, now out for public comment, also includes the Kabi Kabi traditional owners having a greater say in land management practices. Among ZEN s other key responses is for council to explore imposing conditions on its tourism levy to encourage accommodation, cafes, restaurants and other businesses in the tourism industry to transition to low emissions operations. We also recommend the focus of the sustainable transport theme shift to reducing reliance on car travel in Noosa, the Zero Emissions Noosa s submission said.
We ve been pushing on in restoration mode. Most of the panels are starting to come back on now and we re just in the process of getting our electrical components purchased. The Rover will still be a work in progress when the expo rolls around. The team aims to have it gliding along diesel-free by year s end. From diesel to electric, the old Land Rover arrives for its green conversion by college kids. Mr King said Coast-based business British Off Road had been brilliant supporters with their brainstorming contributions and an amazing amount of parents had come forward to help out.
