⛔ Consultation has concluded

At the 21 May 2024 Ordinary Council Meeting, Council resolved to place the proposed Electric Vehicle Charging Strategy on public exhibition for 28 days and seek feedback from the community during this time.

The exhibition period will run from Friday 24 May 2024, until 4.30pm Friday 21 June 2024.

In response to the regional and local stakeholder interest in development of Electric Vehicle (EV) infrastructure, Council with the assistance of Chargeworks has developed a localised strategy. The strategy is comprised of four sections including an overview of the EV market, charging analysis, infrastructure assessments and options for Council consideration. These are presented over a short, medium and long-term timeframe.

Currently Council EV related initiatives have been predominantly focused on a regional engagement with the Central West Joint Organisation. This has assisted in the development of regional plans and grant applications, although the main transportation hubs such as Bathurst and Orange have been prioritised in grant funding and infrastructure.

A localised strategy will assist Council to source grant funding and other financial models that work for our community and visitor markets. This includes potential financial partnerships with the local business association (OBTA) and appropriate locations that are identified and supported through an endorsed strategy.

Please provide relevant feedback in the comments section below. Alternatively, you can make a submission via email to council@oberon.nsw.gov.au or in writing to PO Box 84, OBERON NSW 2787.

  • Share This is a statement rather than a question. The EV charger at the VIC has a type2 connector and is suitable for charging any EV with a Type 2 plug. (Basically everything except a Nissan Leaf). This makes the recommendation to replace the "Tesla only" charger redundant. I know because I was able to charge my BYD without a problem. And contrary to what the staff in the VIC tell you, no adapter is required. on Facebook Share This is a statement rather than a question.

Has consideration been given to creating drive-through bays so that visitors towing a trailer or caravan don't have to unhitch before charging? on Facebook Share All the proposed charging bays in town are drive-in bays.
