Watch: Powering better: EV charging and energy efficiency in action

A video by Willoughby City Council, NSW.

Learn how a Chatswood apartment building installed affordable EV charging and achieved a 5-star energy rating.

Hosted as part of Climate Action Week, this session features Brent Clark, a long-term strata committee member, who shares the building’s sustainability journey and practical upgrades that have helped reduce energy use and costs.

Brent explains how the building installed a low-power EV charging system designed to be equitable for all residents, and how an energy audit and water monitoring—supported by Willoughby City Council—helped drive further improvements. He also covers initiatives such as electricity monitoring, improved waste management, lift upgrades with energy-saving technology, and a new by-law enabling future balcony solar and battery systems. Ideal for strata committees and apartment residents looking for practical, real-world solutions.
