Livingstone, QLD completes solar upgrade for a more resilient sewage treatment plant

Solgen Energy Group installed a 550-kilowatt solar array on the Yeppoon Sewage Treatment Plant. On-site battery storage holds up to 1,953 kilowatts with the array sending excess energy to the utility grid. The plant operates entirely on solar energy with its grid connection used as a backup in case of array issues. This upgrade offsets a major source of energy consumption while ensuring continuous operation for a growing population.

Livingstone, QLD becomes first local council in Australia to use interactive budgeting tool

The council encourages residents to craft their own budget drafts for the 2021-2022 budget cycle using Balancing Act. This suite allows any user to adjust expenses, make comments on line items, and submit drafts to local officials. The platform limits users to the same constraints on officials who have to balance a $136 million AUD budget. Livingstone adopted Balancing Act to generate new ideas from the community and educate the public on how their money is used.
