Electrify Blue Mountains!

Blue Mountains City Council has electrified!
On Tuesday 26 September 2023, Blue Mountains City Council passed a motion to explore how the council could require new homes and businesses across the municipality to be all-electric. Following extensive community feedback on the proposal, at the 26 August 2025 council meeting, the council voted to adopt changes to its DCP that would require new residential developments be all-electric without gas.

Why is this important?

All-electric, gas-free homes and businesses are: 

  • Good for the climate, as less energy is needed to heat and cool electric, efficient homes and businesses, reducing our reliance on polluting gas. 
  • Good for our health, as electric appliances like stoves, heaters and cooktops don’t produce the harmful toxins and pollution that gas ones do
  • Cheaper to run, meaning lower energy bills, especially for renters and people on low incomes
