Converting GESAC it to an all-electric facility

We’re getting GESAC off gas energy and converting it to an all-electric facility.

Status: In progress

Budget: $6.5m

Funding: Up to a $2.5 million grant under the Australian Government’s Community Energy Upgrades Fund. With Council matching and adding to that investment to reach the $6.5 million budget.

Timeline: Construction to start in early 2027 and be completed by late 2027.

What’s happening?

We’re getting GESAC off gas energy and converting it to an all-electric facility.

When is it happening?

Construction is set to start in early 2027 and be completed by late 2027.

What short term impacts will the project have?

There may be occasional changes to services at GESAC during the construction phase. This could include, adjusted hours to pool opening times. We will keep the community informed around any disruptions via our communication channels.

What long term impacts will the project have?

By switching GESAC to an all-electric system, we’ll cut emissions by an estimated 1,810 tonnes per year — the equivalent of taking 663 cars off the road per year.

GESAC will join Carnegie Memorial Swimming Pool as another of our all-electric facilities.

This forms a large part of our commitment to reaching our target of zero direct Council emissions by 2031.
