Woollahra, Waverley and Randwick councils are seeking feedback on proposed locations for new electric vehicle (EV) chargers to be installed across the three Local Government Areas (LGAs).
We asked for feedback on a first group of proposed locations in August 2024 and asked for feedback and a second group of proposed locations in October. We asked for feedback on a third group of proposed locations for new EV chargers from 19 November - 9 December 2024.

Feedback from all three councils working together on this project (Woollahra, Waverley and Randwick councils) will be gathered on Waverley Council's website. Your feedback on the proposed locations for EV chargers will help us meet the increasing demand in our local area.
We're working with Waverley and Randwick councils to support electric vehicle charging. The three councils adopted the Eastern Suburbs Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy 2023 and as part of that strategy we identified that 250 public EV chargers were needed in the Eastern Suburbs by the end of 2025
We recognise more chargers are needed to meet growing numbers of EVs on our roads.
There are currently 4,000 electric vehicles registered in Waverley, Woollahra, and Randwick LGAs. This is projected to increase to 10,000 by 2025, and to more than 35,000 by 2030.
To cater to the demand, we need more than 250 new public electric vehicle chargers in Randwick, Waverley, and Woollahra by the end of 2025.
There are currently 57 EV chargers across Woollahra, Waverley and Randwick LGAs, 15 of which are in Woollahra LGA.

We're asking for feedback from the community on proposed locations for new EV chargers.
Round one August 2024: We sought feedback on the first group of locations for new public EV chargers including 35 locations across Woollahra, Waverley and Randwick and 11 of those were in the Woollahra LGA.
Round two October 2024: We sought feedback on the second group of locations for new public EV chargers including 45 locations across Woollahra, Waverley and Randwick and 15 of those were in the Woollahra LGA.
Round three 19 November- 9 December 2024: We sought feedback on a third group of locations for new public EV chargers including 48 locations across Woollahra, Waverley and Randwick and 8 of those are in Woollahra LGA.
The types of chargers include privately-operated EVIE, EVX and PLUS ES; and Council chargers.
All chargers would be available for public use.
The chargers will be funded through the NSW Local Small Commitments Allocation Grants (LSCA), NSW Government Kerbside Charging Grants, and private sector investment.
Your feedback on the proposed locations for EV chargers will help us meet the increasing demand in our local area. New EV chargers are expected to be installed by June 2025.
