Contacts

5. Background How do we define public lighting? Why conduct the study?
Two components
Study / report
Scenario calculators
Timing
Final report and calculators available May / June 2005

6. Some findings 1.94 million public lights in Australia
30 percent major roads
70 percent minor roads
Annual cost to customers of $210 million
Annual emissions of 1.15 million tonnes of CO2
53 percent major roads
47 percent minor roads

7. Findings continued
Lamp types and energy consumption

8. Findings continued Possible savings through adoption of best practice
Minor roads approximately 370 GWh/year
Major roads approximately 290 GWh/year
Total energy use is GWh/year

9. Where to next Publish the report and scenario calculators
Establish effective leverage points
Work with key partners to build on existing initiatives.

21. Cities for Climate Protection™
ICLEI-A/NZ’s Public Lighting Project

22. What is the ICLEI-A/NZ Public Lighting Project?
Part of SEAV’s Sustainable Public Lighting Initiative
ICLEI Capacity Building Project:
“Public Lighting Action Plan (PLAP) Guidelines”
Workshop Process
Second hat = Manager of PL in CCP™ Plus.
SPLI project = PLAP guidelines
Working with 5 pilot councils in Victoria to develop public lighting actions plans (yes PLAP’s) and PLAP guidelines
Councils are: City of Greater Bendigo, Frankston City, City of Melbourne, Banyule City Council and City of Greater Dandenong

23. Typical Council Energy Breakdown
So, ICLEI have become involved in public lighting because our participants in local government have identified it as an area which has a high proportion of the overall corporate emissions and in which it is difficult to cut emissions.
As this diagram outlines, the emissions are higher in an urban setting….(next slide)

24. Typical Street Lighting Emission Growth
But this slide indicates that emissions are growing at a faster rate in a rural and regional context so both rural and urban councils have reason to be interested in increasing the sustainability of their public lighting stock.

25. Outputs 1. Guidelines 2. Public Lighting Action Plans for Participants

2. Public Lighting Action Plans for Participants
We have identified these three areas as the broad areas that leading councils do well. So those Councils looking to build their capacity to implement sustainable public lighting need to build up these three foundations.
Internal Strategy and Support: In order to push sustainable public lighting you will need to cultivate internal support for your aims. You will need to assess the current management structure of public lighting and work to get senior management, councillors and all key staff with public lighting responsibilities engaged in this issue.
Data and Technology: Collecting data on your public lighting resources will also enable you to present a business case to senior management and council. Once you know what you have, you can assess alternative lighting technologies and decide what types would be appropriate for your council.
External Relationships: You should gain as much support as possible from the other public lighting stakeholders. Talking to your distribution business will be necessary; you will have try to understand and address any aversions they may have toward installing new lighting. You will need to talk to lighting suppliers, to the community and, importantly, other councils. Coordinating your goals with other councils will greatly improve your likelihood of achieving your sustainable public lighting goals.
To help LG build these foundations we have developed a public lighting action plan and other tools and links to build the capacity of VIC councils to achieve sustainable public lighting.

26. Workshop Principles of Achieving Sustainable Public Lighting
Principle 1. Seek actions that build relationships
Principle 2. Seek to coordinate actions
Principle 3. Seek solutions where possible that consolidate existing council systems rather than create more systems
Principle 4. Seek actions that are complementary and iterative
Principle 5. Seek to implement actions in those areas where there is existing opportunity
Explain and then go to workshop
