Electrify Everything

By electrifying our heating, cooling, hot water, cooking, and car - and powering these machines with renewable energy like rooftop solar - we can all reap the financial, health and climate benefits that electrification brings. By gradually making these changes, we're not just saving money—we're creating local jobs, especially for our tradies.  And Australia benefits too. Saul painted a picture of an Australia saving $1.7 trillion and becoming a renewable energy superpower. 

Watch the recording here.

Saul remarked that City of Newcastle is "leading the world in leaning into this energy transition and electrification." We're proud of our community, and the thousands of households and businesses in Newcastle already investing in a clean energy future by switching to renewable energy and electrifying their homes and businesses.  We're excited to continue working closely with our community to empower everyone - residents, businesses, schools, and community groups - to switch to renewable energy, electrify, and create a net zero future as part of our Empowering Newcastle program.

  • Balsamiq - a rapid wireframing tool that helps you work faster & smarter. It reproduces the experience of sketching on a whiteboard, but using a computer.

Testing Tools

No prototype is complete without a little testing. Utilise any of these tools to test if your solution can go all the way:

  • FlexUX - a flexible way to capture and use User Experience and Customer Experience information. It's specifically designed to capture user testing, expert review, field research and group feedback.
