Sydney’s city council will consider banning gas connections to new homes, becoming the first major jurisdiction to follow the Victorian government’s decision to stop residential hook-ups to the fossil fuel.
The gas industry said City of Sydney’s decision would limit residents’ access to renewable energy options.
City of Sydney Council on Monday night voted to assign officials to investigate whether planning controls should “require all new residential developments to be all electric”. Almost 218,000 people live in the Sydney local government area.
