Consultation on the Australian Government's Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme closes 10 September 2008

Although many councils will not have a direct liability under the scheme, all councils and their communities will be affected to some degree.

Local governments should pay particular attention to Chapter 8, "Household Assistance Measures". How will these measures affect your residents? What role will your council play in the delivery of these measures?

Visit the Department of Climate Change website for details on how to make a submission.
