The Western Australian Government is investing $500,000 to help Switch Your Thinking assist more Western Australian households and small businesses improve their energy efficiency and reduce their energy use. Switch Your Thinking is a Local Government sustainability initiative founded in 2002 by the Cities of Gosnells and Armadale, and the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale. It is due to these Councils’ ongoing support of sustainability education on a Local Government level that Switch Your Thinking has been selected for this Pilot Program.

The team at Switch Your Thinking will use the funding boost to deliver expanded energy efficiency education and resources in local government areas all across the State. So far, 41 Local Governments have registered interest in the expanded program. The initiative will include 200 do-it-yourself energy audit toolkits for loan at local libraries across metropolitan Perth and regional WA, enabling residents to perform home energy self-assessments and discover ways to reduce their bills.
