The draft Electric Vehicle Charging on Public Land Policy guides the establishment of publicly accessible electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure to encourage EV adoption in North Sydney, reduce emissions, meet climate targets, and improve local environmental outcomes.
The draft Policy outlines the requirements for the establishment, operation, management and removal of EV charging infrastructure on public land within the North Sydney local government area. It prioritises fair and effective distribution of EV charging infrastructure.
Background
As EVs are increasingly adopted in the community, demand for publicly accessible charging points is growing. While residents with private driveways can charge their vehicles at home, many North Sydney residents lack access to off-street charging options. By adopting a policy on EV charging on public land, Council can ensure a consistent and strategic approach to support the roll out of charge points, promoting sustainability, preserving public amenity, and enhancing equity and accessibility for residents and visitors.
