The group was looking to
- reduce the dependence on fossil fuels in Boonah for our electricity,
- support community groups and private investors to switch to solar hot water and electricity, and to
- specifically present an alternative to coal seam gas as an energy source.
Members of the subcommittee attended the Community Energy Congress in Canberra in June 2014, and focused their attentions on working with the Boonah Disability Support Group and the Hydrotherapy Pool (now known as the Scenic Rim Aqua Fitness Centre).
Trevor presented his detailed report to the hydrotherapy pool committee and BOSS members on Monday 17 November 2014.
The Energy Audit and the associated presentation are available for viewing online. It identifies ways to help reduce ongoing energy costs.
The team then looked to implementing appropriate strategies and worked through the recommendations.

Subcommittee members included Martin Moesker, Rob Davies and Joanna Kestevan.
Lots of working bees were undertaken through funds raised, and work included things like insulating the concrete pool walls.
Now that the recommendations have been addressed, the subcommittee's work is done, and a $750 donation from BOSS went towards the purchase of solar panels for the building.
