To capture insights and ideas for how Brisbane City Council can facilitate the uptake of electric vehicles throughout the Brisbane city area.
Situation Explained
LPC was engaged to design and deliver an in-person roundtable discussion between Council and stakeholders in the industry. The purpose of the session was to inform Council’s efforts to achieving a zero emissions goal for transport and commitment to overall carbon neutrality.
Brisbane Pathway to Zero Emissions Transport Roundtable discussed potential actions to support the city’s private sector and residents achieve Council’s Transport Plan for Brisbane. Options included facilitating ownership of electric vehicles through strategic provision of public charging stations.
To meet the growing demand for electric vehicle charging and stated goals of utilising available ‘green’ technologies, results from discussions helped determine community priorities for charging types and locations.
Our Approach
LPC facilitated an event that included series of presentations and discussions to explore challenges and responsibilities for increased use of electric vehicles, and Council’s role in supporting their uptake in line with stated delivery principles.
The roundtable provided a forum for key stakeholders to hear from a range of perspectives and contribute to discussions. The diverse group and highly interactive workshop design ensured interesting, informed conversations, and established opportunities for collaborative problem-solving, both at the roundtable and beyond.
