8. Three Main Barriers
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
