Council has resolved to prepare and place on public exhibition a draft Electrical Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Policy.

A copy of the draft Policy can be found on at the bottom of the page.

About the Policy

This policy relates to the provision of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and the allocation of suitable locations on public land. The policy also outlines approvals required and criteria that must be met for EV infrastructure to be supported by Council.

Council is committed to support the increasing demand for electric vehicles and support the community as they embrace cleaner energy options. To support this demand, this policy will provide a criteria for the provision, installation, management, maintenance and removal of EV charging units on public land and in the Strathfield Local Government Area.

The objectives of this policy are to:

• Support the delivery of EV charging infrastructure on public land that integrates effectively with the transport network, local environment and commercial areas across the LGA
• Consider all electric transport charging infrastructure
• Ensure a fair and equitable selection of providers that supports current EVs and charging types
• Increase the availability of EV charging infrastructure to support growth in the uptake of EVs, locally
• Provide direction for providers of EV infrastructure in the allocation of suitable locations on public land and Council requirements
• Provide direction to all providers on the approval process of the installation of EV charging infrastructure
• Provide direction on the placement of advertising of EV charging infrastructure
