What’s changing?

What is Ironbark doing? 7

Three Main Barriers - 2011 Ironbark was engaged by the Federal Government to develop the National Strategy on Energy Efficiency on Street Lighting. - As a part of the development of this strategy we collated information on barriers to improving street lighting energy efficiency in Australia via a nation-wide survey. – - - We had 200 organisations respond – this is consistent with the complex nature of the issue of energy efficiency in street lighting the main barriers identified by councils were: costs (most commonly capital cost); expertise and dealing with the complexity of street lighting; working with external stakeholders. However these have gone one by one. 8

Outcomes so far This is actually the easy part! $450m saved 1.6 m tonnes of greenhouse emissions 250,000 lights 5-7 year paybacks This is actually the easy part! Ensure clear internal communication Dealing with complaints, timelines, media, contract variations, incidents, invoicing etc. Education and promotion Identify any further projects to consider (support to deliver these would be managed on a case by case basis) Ensure any faults are rectified Complete outcomes reporting (for Council, for funding bodies etc) 9
