Small and medium hotels across Durack are receiving support from the Morrison Government’s Hotel Energy Uplift Program to cut their energy costs so they can invest in their business and get ahead.
Federal Member for Durack, the Hon. Melissa Price has welcomed the energy saving benefits for 9 Durack grant recipients.
“I am particularly pleased to see the cross section of outlets benefitting from this program across Durack, like the community run Bolgart Hotel to Wyndham’s Parry Creek Farm - Tourist Resort & Caravan Park,” Ms Price said.
“Through the $10.2 million Hotel Energy Uplift Program, the recipients will be able to lower their energy bills by upgrading to more energy efficient air-conditioning, refrigeration and equipment, improving the building through double glazing and insulation, carrying out energy audits or installing energy monitoring equipment,” she said.
The Hotel Energy Uplift Program was announced in the 2020-21 Budget and is part of the Government’s $1.9 billion investment in new energy technologies which will create new jobs now and into the future, reduce emissions and ensure all Australians have access to reliable and affordable energy.
