Welcome to the web site of the Adelaide Hills Climate Action Group (AHCAG).

 Formed in 2007, AHCAG is an energetic group of people who have come together to take a stand on climate change and work toward a safe, secure and sustainable future for all.

Climate change mitigation requires concerted action, so we aim to support community, business and local government in responding with practical strategies in the Adelaide Hills. Activities to date include many community information sessions through the Hills, stalls, film and discussion nights, as well as developing links with local councils.

 

AHCAG meets on the second Monday of every month, and new faces are always welcome! To attend meetings or to receive occasional updates on local events please contact us via the 'contact' button top right.


Tim Kelly's submissions to Carbon Pricing and NGER consultations PDF Print E-mail

The federal Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency (DCCEE) has recently moved towards abandoning principles of open and transparent Goverrnment by not publishing submissions on important policy documents.

Where this is the case, AHCAG can provide the opportunity for such submissions to be published. On Australia's biggest economic reform being the Clean Energy Legislative Package released on 28 July 2011, the Federal Government has allowed just four weeks for submissions and has not indicated whether the non-confidential submissions will be made public on its website.

AHCAG's own Tim Kelly, who last year published a Customer Choice Model for carbon pollution and renewable energy, has lodged submissions with two public consultation processes being conducted by DCCEE. The Department has decided that it will not publish these submissions, so AHCAG has decided to publish them here.
