Energy and Emissions Reduction Strategy
Shire of Mundaring's Emissions Reduction Strategy 2024 sets a new target of 70 per cent less than the 2016/2017 baseline by 2030, and identifies the actions that will help the Shire to
achieve that target.
Actions include:
- developing a low-emissions fleet transition plan
- further improving energy efficiencies and adding more renewable energy to community facilities
- prioritising sustainable design and energy efficiency in all new construction projects.

Emissions and Energy Data Analysis Report 2024/2025
The Shire is not obliged to report emissions under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Scheme (NGERS) or any other legislative framework. The Shire has chosen to monitor and report emissions annually in order to track progress towards the Emissions Reduction Target.
Corporate emissions are monitored and analysed using the Azility platform. Previously, reporting was undertaken by the Eastern Metropolitan Regional Council (EMRC) through the regional Achieving Carbon Emissions Reduction (ACER) program. EMRC ceased providing this service in 2024, and subsequent monitoring and analysis is now carried out by the responsibility of the Shire of Mundaring Environmental Sustainability Team.

Waterwise Council Program
Water Corporation’s Waterwise Council Program supports local governments to improve water efficiency and strengthen waterwise practices across their operations and communities. The Shire of Mundaring was recognised as a 10-year Waterwise Council in 2022, and has been re-endorsed as a Gold Waterwise Council for the 2024–2025 reporting year, reflecting our ongoing commitment to sustainable water management and building a waterwise community.
As a Gold Waterwise Council, we’re committed to using water wisely across our community, and we all have a part to play in protecting this precious resource.
