Curtin's western suburb councils lead the state in their green policies but they could be even greener, according to Kate Chaney's newest net-zero report.
The MP produced a two-year report card on progress since she first launched Curtin's pathway to zero in 2024.
Grades from A to D were awarded to federal, state, and local governments for their actions to make Australia more environmentally friendly. Curtin's local governments came out on top with an A for their work, the federal government got a B but the state government got a C.
"The federal government actually gets a better scorecard than the state government," Ms Chaney said.
"WA is falling behind other states in a number of areas. "WA has the smallest share of renewable energy generation of any state, at 27%, and has less generation capacity in the pipeline than others. "The WA government still doesn't have an emissions reduction target for 2035 or a renewable energy target. "Local governments, who have less responsibility in this area, are actually making big efforts, particularly around electricity, greening and waste.
"Curtin is the top electorate for EV uptake in WA." Local governments like Claremont have yet to adopt the FOGO waste system, but they will soon join Mosman Park in introducing private tree protection. Smart homes powered by solar energy were prevalent in one out of two homes in City Beach, followed by Wembley, Floreat and Jolimont.
