PADDOCKS to POWER

Our Host; Regional Development Australia - Great Southern

The August D!GS will be a special event, with Regional Development Australia inviting us into their new Great Southern office, in the beautifully renovated Co-Operative building.
Join us for an opportunity to see inside this historic building, built by P&O Shipping agent William Clifton in 1870 to improve the welfare of the company's employees.

Given the City of Albany’s ambitious plans to see the city powered from local renewable sources by 2026, Mitch Lever’s presentation will be a timely discussion.

Mitch was was a member of the winning team at Western Australia’s first Energy Self-Sufficiency Hackathon, hosted by Western Power earlier this year (see side bar) and there is no doubt the Great Southern is embarking on an era of heightened interest and activity in sustainable energy solutions.
