Googong’s first school will open for the 2015 school year.
Energy
A comprehensive energy strategy is currently under development, which will provide a range of sustainable energy solutions at both township level and within the homes.
These include the potential to source electricity through green power and for solar orientation to be optimised in both street and house layouts.
To help reduce Googong’s carbon footprint the township’s five neighbourhoods are designed so shops, schools and recreational facilities are within walking and cycling distance of most homes, reducing car dependency and fossil fuel use.
A range of employment opportunities within Googong’s town centre and neighbourhood centres will also reduce car dependency and energy use. By providing high speed fibre-to-the-home broadband service we will also be encouraging home-based employment in Googong.
