Complete

The Katoomba Sports & Aquatic Centre now houses a 226-panel rooftop system with a capacity of 90.4 kilowatts. Solar energy at the facility reduces annual emissions by 313 tons, equivalent to the emissions created by 45 homes. This project is the largest of a five-site solar initiative that includes two waste management facilities, a theatre, and another aquatic centre. Blue Mountains City Council invested in this initiative to reach a net-zero emission goal by 2025.
