It covers 11.3 square km and had a population of 33,693 at the time of the 2016 Census.<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Emma Cole said once Council considered the environmental benefit and the medium-term cost savings, solar presented an excellent investment opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>The $321,000 outlay should be recouped within the first four years &#8211; a common payback period these days for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/commercial-solar-guide.html\">commercial solar installations<\/a>. The first year is expected to return power bill savings of $90,000. Council states the solar power systems will also avoid the equivalent of 286 tonnes of CO2 per annum.<\/p>\n<p>The systems to be installed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Administration &amp; Civic Centre: 100kW<\/li>\n<li>Beatty Park Leisure Centre: 78.6kW<\/li>\n<li>Library &amp; Local History Centre: 40kW<\/li>\n<li>Operations Depot: 40kW<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Total capacity for the rollout is just over 258 kW. At 100kW, the Administration &amp; Civic Centre installation will be just shy of the largest installation in the LGA, which is 102kW.<\/p>\n<p>Installation of the first of the projects, at the City of Vincent Library and Local History Centre, commenced last week and has apparently already been completed.
