Everyone deserves a home that is healthy, safe, affordable — and built for the future. Across NSW, new homes are being built every day. This should be an opportunity to give people comfort, choice and lower energy bills for decades to come. Instead, everyday people are being locked into outdated gas infrastructure they didn’t choose — determining how their home is powered, how their food is cooked, and how they stay warm in winter. Right now, the NSW state government continues to allow new buildings to be connected to gas, meaning around 30% of new homes are being built to rely on fossil fuels from day one. This decision shapes people’s lives for years — and it doesn’t have to be this way. We know there’s a better path forward. Building all-electric homes is one of the simplest and most effective ways to create healthier households, lower energy bills and cleaner communities. It’s a future that works for people, climate and Country. All-electric homes mean: 🌱 Healthier homes and healthier communities Electric homes avoid the harmful air pollution created by burning gas indoors, protecting children and families from respiratory illness and long-term health risks. 💸 Lower energy bills and greater affordability All-electric buildings are cheaper to run than homes connected to both gas and electricity — delivering ongoing savings during a cost-of-living crisis. 🌏 Care for Country and climate Moving away from gas reduces pollution and emissions, helping protect land, water and communities from worsening bushfires, floods and extreme weather. ⚡ A fair and just energy transition Requiring new buildings to be all-electric ensures construction companies — not everyday people — pay for modern electrical infrastructure at the point of build. This prevents costly retrofits later and ensures everyone can benefit from the clean energy transition, not just those who can afford it. When we build all-electric from the start, we make the right choice the easy choice. We future-proof our homes, reduce long-term costs, and ensure no one is left behind. Together, we can choose homes that support our health, protect Country, and set communities up to thrive — now and for generations to come.

The “Polluter Pays” principle is simple – if you make a mess, you should clean it up.  Communities like ours are already paying the price of climate change through higher insurance premiums and increasing disaster recovery bills. Meanwhile, big coal, oil and gas corporations are making billions exporting Australia’s resources, often while paying no tax and pocketing huge government subsidies. Our community is already experiencing the impacts of climate pollution – from floods and bushfires to heatwaves and coastal erosion. Local councils are on the frontline, responsible for roads, drainage, community facilities and emergency response – but right now the costs of disasters are rising faster than council revenue.  A Climate Compensation Fund could help pay for: 🚨Disaster response and preparedness  😌 Insurance relief for disaster-hit communities 🏠 Flood-proofed homes 🏛️ Upgraded community halls and evacuation centres 🌳 Shaded streets and cool public spaces 🚒 Well-resourced emergency services ✨ An Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Climate Self Determination Fund 👷 Support for a just transition for workers and their families ➕ And much more… Delivery plans This petition will be delivered to Tamworth Regional Council who will be encouraged to table it as part of a successful Polluter Pays motion.
