Bellingen Shire Emission Reduction Program
Council is committed to reducing its contribution to climate change and to this end, has initiated the Bellingen Shire Emission Reduction Program (BERP).
Bellingen Council was originally signed up to the Cities for Climate Protection (CCP) program, but since the CCP lost federal funding in June 2009, Council has elected to continue with the BERP which is based on the milestone approach of the CCP.
The BERP is made up of the following phases:
Phase 1 CO2 Emissions Audit for Council and the Community
Phase 2 Adoption of Emission Reduction Target
Phase 3 Energy Action Plan – Planning
Phase 4 Energy Action Plan – Implementation
Phase 5 Monitoring and Verification
