NSW Minister for Energy and Environment, Matt Kean, along with the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), have today announced that Lord Howe Island will soon be powered by a solar and battery system that will reduce its reliance on diesel generation.
The Board has engaged specialist flood consultants WMAwater to provide an improved understanding of flood behaviour and impacts on the Island. A flood investigation was completed in the late 1990’s.
Our community is an important part of who we are on Lord Howe; whether we have been here for generations or have just arrived we are the current caretakers of the island and we need a plan.
As most people would be aware the Board has received funding from the Stronger Country Community Funds to the value of $93,660 to install fitness/exercise equipment at the Lagoon foreshore and we are seeking your feedback.
As part of the Round One Stronger Country Communities Fund program (SCCF), the LHIB was successful in being granted $435,000 to remediate the Old Powerhouse Site, following a submission that included detailed concept plans based on initial community consultation.
