Electrify Hornsby Shire!

Hornsby Council has electrified!
At its 14 August 2024 Council meeting, Hornsby Council voted unanimously to adopt changes to its Development Control Plan to ensure that new homes built in the LGA are to be fitted with electric indoor appliances (cooktops, heaters and ovens). This win is the product of months of joint advocacy by 350 Australia, Doctors for the Environment, Healthy Futures and local residents. The council will continue to explore electrifying new commercial buildings as well as incorporating hot water into its residential electrification requirements.

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
