Canberrans will be able to provide their feedback on proposals to prevent new gas network connections in the ACT as part of the Government's plan to transition off fossil fuels.
The transition away from gas is part of the ACT's efforts to become a net zero emissions city by 2045. Fossil fuel gas currently accounts for more than 20% of the Territory's greenhouse gas emissions.
The regulation to prevent new gas network connections is an important step in our work to make sure Canberra is a thriving net zero emissions city by 2045 and is a significant change for the ACT community.
An Issues Paper is now available on YourSay Conversations and the ACT Government is seeking community views to better understand impacts of a change like this on all members of our community.
