- Making Knox more Electric Vehicle ready
Share your thoughts on your current and future needs for public Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers to help shape Council’s new Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Policy. Feedback closes Monday 5 May.
We have identified a need to expand the EV charging network to help our community be more EV ready. This will provide many community benefits, including supporting more EV ownership, and reducing transport emissions.
Council is well placed to lead and facilitate the development of the EV charging network because Council manages a large number of public carparks and parking spaces.
The new Policy will guide how we grow the EV charging network on Council owned and managed land.
This is your opportunity to share thoughts on the draft policy, including possible locations for EV chargers, and how often you use public EV chargers.
We want to hear from both EV and non-EV drivers, businesses, EV charging operators and residents to understand their thoughts about this initiative.
Knox has over 25 public chargers, with Council owning and operating 5 public chargers at 3 locations (Knox City Council Civic Centre in Wantirna South, Fairpark Reserve in Ferntree Gully, and Knox Regional Netball Centre in Ferntree Gully).
The draft policy proposes that from 1 July 2025, Council will introduce a fee for Council owned and operated EV chargers. The fees are designed to cover operational costs.
There are many ways to have your say, including completing the online survey or attending one of our pop-up sessions.
Reducing transport emissions is a key initiative in our Climate Response Plan 2021-2031 which aims to reach net zero emissions for the Knox community by 2040.
For more information, visit our Have your say page.
Pop-up sessions:
- Monday, 28 April, 10am to 12pm at Bayswater Library, Mountain High Shopping Centre, 7-13 High St, Bayswater VIC 3153
- Tuesday, 29 April, 10am to 12pm at Knox City Council Civic Centre, 511 Burwood Hwy, Wantirna South VIC 3152
