Waitematā is set to become a low carbon community.
I’m proud of this initiative from my Local Board: Becoming a Low Carbon Community: an Action Plan. Kudos to former-Local Board member, Jesse Chalmers, and current members, Christopher Dempsey and Pippa Coom, who got the ball rolling back in 2011 and to my colleagues, Members Deborah Yates and Rob Thomas, for bringing it to fruition in 2015.
The Plan was launched at the Auckland War Memorial Museum on the evening of 4 November to the most auspicious of natural occurrences, seen as we viewed one of the arrays of photovoltaic cells on the eastern rooftop of the building.
