 The Queensland Government's ClimateSmart Home Service program commenced on 5 January 2009. The program aims to provide services to 260,000 households across Queensland, over two years.
The program involves a licensed electrician visiting homes and performing an energy efficiency service. This includes:
- Installation of a wireless energy monitor
- Up to 15 free energy efficient light globes supplied and installed
- Where suitable, a free water and energy efficient showerhead supplied and installed
- An energy audit
- A customised energy and water efficiency plan sent to the householder, and
- Access to My ClimateSmart Home, a customised resource for more energy and water savings.
A service like this would normally cost over $450, but residents pay just $50. Residents undertaking the service can save up to $250 a year in energy and water bills, and a total of up to 20.4 tonnes of greenhouse gases.
Full details of the service including eligibility requirements and terms and conditions, and an online booking form, are available on the program website at www.climatesmarthome.com

I think we would all recognise... we can't be experts at everything!
Legislation is constantly changing, someone else may have already solved that problem, a regional approach can reduce resource demand and customers want to receive consistent approach to similar issues.
To address these concerns, a web-based system called the Toolbox has been developed.
Councils (and other agencies) provides the community with consistent documentation, and provides staff with consistent procedures to assist them to do their job.
Business and community groups can access up-to-date information in a user-friendly online format.
Information on the Toolbox covers common subject areas such as:
- Food Premises
- Environmentally Relevant Activities
- Storage of Dangerous Goods
- Tattooing and Skin Piercing procedures
- Accommodation and caravan parks
- Advertising signs
- Domestic and recycled water carriers
- Footpath dining and Advertising Signs
You can find Toolbox
