Electrify City of Newcastle!

City of Newcastle has electrified!
At its 12 December 2023 Council meeting, City of Newcastle voted in support of changes to its Development Control Plan to require multi-unit residential developments to be fitted with indoor electric appliances (cooktops, ovens and internal space heaters). 350 and local residents were instrumental in ensuring the council passed these changes. Unfortunately, hot water units were excluded from the electrification changes, so 350 will continue to advocate for this in 2024.

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
