Business energy savings made easy

As local Noosa businesses slowly ramp up operations, a renewed service is here to help support keeping operating costs down.

Local businesses are eligible to receive free one on one assistance to reduce their energy costs via the Chamber of Commerce & Industry Queensland (CCIQ) ecoBiz service.

EcoBiz aims to help businesses save thousands of dollars across their power, water and waste bills.



The program provides Queensland businesses (with five or more employees) access to complimentary tools and events including one-on-one coaching, site survey, online benchmarking, workshops and webinars.

By engaging in these free services businesses have the opportunity to save on power, water and waste. 



As announced in the 2018-19 State Budget, the Queensland Government will provide $3.94 million additional investment over four years in the ecoBiz program.

“Zero Emission Noosa (ZEN) welcomes all opportunities for our local businesses to reduce energy costs and therefore emissions.” ZEN Business Leader Anne Kennedy said.

“Businesses are also invited to view business case studies completed by ZEN highlighting how a range of businesses in the Shire are reducing their energy costs.”

To view or read these case studies go to www.zeroemissionsnoosa.com.au.

There is no closing date for access to the ecoBiz support service, to find out more visit www.ecobiz.cciq.com.au or call 1300 731 988.
