Advocacy

NAGA advocates on behalf of its members to help create a zero carbon economy.


Parliamentary Inquiry into Tackling Climate Change in Victorian Communities

NAGA made a submission and spoke at this parliamentary inquiry in 2019. Due to strong advocacy for the role and needs of local government by all Victorian Greenhouse Alliances, the inquiry recognised the role of councils, and a key recommendation was to provide support for local government to strengthen Greenhouse Alliances.

Electricity distribution price review

In 2015, NAGA worked with the Eastern Alliance for Greenhouse Action (EAGA) to analyse the proposals for investment in infrastructure put forward by electricity distributors for the following five years. This process is run through the Australian Energy Regulator, which sets prices for distributor operations and investments that impact council budgets, most notably street lighting. This submission to the price review led directly to a $7.5 million saving for NAGA councils on street lighting operation and maintenance costs.

In 2020 and 2021, NAGA worked with other Victorian Greenhouse Alliances to once again analyse the proposals for investment for 2021-26.

One Million Homes Alliance

​​NAGA is a partner in the One Million Homes Alliance. The Alliance brings together Victoria's leading environment, social justice, local government and consumer organisations who share a commitment to a just transition to a sustainable society, where all Victorians enjoy equitable access to efficient, healthy housing and affordable clean energy.

​As part off this advocacy work, NAGA commissioned research into how similar standards were introduced in the United Kingdom and New Zealand. The report from this research can be accessed by clicking on the image at left.
