PERTH SOLAR CITIES BID
I know that, like me, the minister supports the Perth Solar Cities bid being promoted by the Department of Housing and Works, as well as the Eastern Metropolitan Regional Council. Will the minister please advise the house of the progress of the Perth Solar Cities bid and what benefits might accrue to our state as a result of a successful bid? The SPEAKER : I think someone is trying to bug us! Mrs M.H. ROBERTS

AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for Swan Hills for her support of our Perth Solar Cities bid. I think she is as aware as I am that a new national opinion poll out today has found that most Australians think that more needs to be done to combat climate change. That poll shows overwhelmingly that the majority of Australians - 92 per cent - think that the government is not doing enough to encourage clean technology. Members of this house will be aware that there was an announcement last week by the federal Minister for the Environment and Heritage about giving the Victorian government a windfall for its $420-million solar power station. He said that that was done on the basis that the Victorian government was contributing $50 million. On my calculations, $50 million out of a $420-million project is a little more than 10 per cent. Therefore, the vast majority of money is being provided by the commonwealth government. It is pretty instructive to look at that side by side with the Solar Cities bid that was made through the Department of Housing and Works. The Perth bid was launched last July, and in December 2005 we learnt that we had been short-listed for the next phase, which was the submission of a detailed business case. I inform members that a detailed business case has been submitted as part of Perth’s Solar Cities bid. It is a fantastic proposal. It makes a compelling case for Perth to become a solar city. It demonstrates how Perth could lead the nation in the application of energy-saving techniques and, within existing communities, the use of smart power-saving meters, cost-reflective pricing and the application of solar technologies such as photovoltaic generation of electricity and solar water heating. The Perth proposal focuses on working proactively with householders and businesses to encourage energy-saving initiatives and the uptake of new solar technology. Six local government authorities in Perth’s eastern region would host one Solar Cities trial community. Thousands of free energy assessments would be provided to those communities to assist with and manage the reduction of energy consumption. Other initiatives would include energy efficiency packages, with options for low-wattage lights, low-flow showerheads, insulation and passive solar modifications; two financing options to reduce the high up-front costs of photovoltaic systems; a demonstration of a photovoltaic system in the City of Swan administration office to showcase renewable energy; and a television series highlighting these technologies and behaviours in action. In addition, the Department of Housing and Works will showcase some apartments in Pier Street in the city and in the New Living project in Forrestfield and the Harrisdale development project. If Perth’s bid were successful, 6 000 households and businesses would be involved in those six trial communities, and local schools would also have the opportunity to participate. The bid also outlines an innovative strategy to expand the solar city beyond the initial trial area. The Perth bid represents a total expenditure of $85 million, of which just $13.7 million has been sought from the commonwealth. The commonwealth has sat on its hands on this issue for far too long. It has made an announcement in favour of a Solar Cities bid from Adelaide, but it is about time it made a commitment to Western Australia. It is not enough for the federal Liberal environment minister, who happens to be from Western Australia, to say that the Victorian government has put up $50 million of the $420 million, so therefore he will give $370 million to Victoria. We are asking for a paltry $13.7 million to do $85 million worth of good work with our Solar Cities bid. I call on members opposite to lobby their federal colleagues, and perhaps those in that golden triangle of Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne, to get them to spend a little money in Western Australia.
