Have Your Say on EV Charging Infrastructure on Public Land

At the Council Meeting on 12 August 2025, Council resolved to adopt the Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure on Public Land Policy. Council also resolved to place the policy on public exhibition for 28 days, with submissions accepted for 42 days.

What is the Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure on Public Land Policy?

This policy aims to address key objectives related to the development and utilisation of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, including:

• To support access to EV charging for residents and visitors, which may encourage the adoption of electric vehicles by making charging infrastructure more accessible and convenient.
• To attract private investment in the development, installation and operation of EV charging stations, offering a reasonable financial return to businesses, with a share of this return being offered to Council to offset the use of infrastructure on public land.
• To ensure the ongoing maintenance of EV charging infrastructure through the implementation of regular maintenance and timely repairs.
• Allow for advertisement of local events, marketing initiatives, campaigns and education.
