Znet Uralla

Z-Net Uralla came about as an idea in 2014 and we had our first workshop in January 2015. This was to formulate a team of enthusiastic volunteers who would get help get the blueprint together for Moreland Energy Foundation (MEFL). Then was the inception of Z-Net Uralla after the blueprint was delivered and we had our first meeting with our “charter” in March 2016. We were fortunate to be auspiced by the Uralla Neighbourhood Centre Inc and able to form our own committee (on the “The Team” page). The Office of Environment and Heritage have been our kind sponsors since day dot and we would also like to thank Starfish Initiatives for their involvement also.
Z-NET Uralla’s Vision
Vision: A sustainable Uralla Shire in a sustainable world.
Mission: To assist the people of the Uralla Shire’s transition to energy self-sufficiency, based on renewable sources, and to allow our community to confidently participate in the unfolding revolution in energy technologies.
• The first step is to work towards the goal of 100% renewable energy for in-home and business use (excluding transport). This is being achieved by reducing energy use, though improvements in efficiency, and by installation of cost effective renewable energy generation.
• Z-NET Uralla has adopted the Zeronet Energy Town Uralla Case Study (also known as the Z-NET Blueprint) as its foundation document for direction and scope of projects to be undertaken in our Shire.
• Z-NET activities are designed in consultation with the Uralla community, to give equal access across socio-economic groups.
• Z-NET is providing leadership and education, assessment of innovations and their applicability for our community.
• Z-NET is giving Uralla the opportunity, not only of being part of the solution to renewable energy supply, but also the opportunity to build futurist, vibrant local businesses based on renewable energy.
