The GHG impact of historic and potential measures were modelled in each corporate sector and two GHG forecast scenarios were developed to reflect different levels of GHG reduction measure uptake.. It is estimated that the potential annual GHG savings through the implementation of measures in their Local Action Plan range from 12,000 tonnes to 32,000 tonnes. The Local Action Planning process has led to the recommendation of a GHG emissions reduction target, which is currently being reviewed before going to Council for formal adoption. This report also outlines the opportunities for GHG reductions and potential Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs) from the Region's incineration processes, landfill gas flaring, composting programs, and waste reductions programs.
