EV Strategy adopted

The Eastern Suburbs EV Infrastructure Strategy, which outlines the vision for electric vehicles in the eastern suburbs up until 2030, was adopted by Council on 15 November 2023.

Overview

The numbers of electric vehicles (EVs) on our roads are rapidly increasing as more affordable models enter the market and Federal and State Government provide incentives to lower the purchase cost of new EVs. Currently, the eastern suburbs is home to over 2,000 EVs, with this number set to double year on year.

The Eastern Suburbs Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy 2023 - "Leading the Charge" is the first EV strategy for the eastern suburbs region. It was drafted following extensive community consultation, analysis of the existing market, and peer review by industry experts.

The strategy outlines the vision and required EV infrastructure needed through to 2030 and determines where and how to implement such infrastructure across Waverley, Randwick and Woollahra local government areas.

The Eastern Suburbs Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy 2023 - "Leading the Charge" EV Strategy was adopted by Woollahra Council on 15 November 2023. Waverley and Randwick councils have also adopted the strategy.

This project is run by the Regional Environment Program which works across Woollahra, Waverley and Randwick local government areas.

Community Consultation

Feedback on the draft strategy closed on 27 September 2023. All feedback and comments were considered before the strategy was taken to Waverley, Randwick and Woollahra councils for adoption in November 2023.
