It is also noted that surrounding jurisdictions are actively pursuing the installation of both Level 2 and Level 3 chargers.
(8) (a) As part of the West Belconnen (Ginninderry) Joint Venture, locations for two rapid public charging points have been identified for Stage 1. It is intended that the charging stations will be installed once resident occupation occurs in 2019. The cost will be met by the project, but the value is yet to be determined. Electricity will be provided to these locations as part of the Stage 1 civil works.
It is also a requirement that all display village homes include an electric vehicle charging point within the garages. Additionally, it is recommended that residents consider installing wiring to accommodate electric vehicle charging points, allowing for a future retrofit of a charging point. The project has released a Smart Living Brochure explaining this to residents.
ActewAGL is currently considering installing a fast charger as part of their free roll-out at the Link Building – the sales and marketing centre for Ginninderry at Strathnairn.
(b) The Government recognises the challenges and opportunities for the expansion of EV charging infrastructure in private locations around the ACT. Specific provision for electric vehicle charging within commercial and multi-unit residential developments is currently being considered as part of a revised ACT Parking and Vehicular Access General Code.
This is intended to align the supply of electric vehicle charging facilities within new developments and the growing demand for electric vehicles. Additionally, ChargePoint and other charging infrastructure providers are actively promoting opportunities for multi-unit apartments and mixed-used commercial developments as an option of paying for the installation of their charging infrastructure which is then marketed as part of their national networks (see www.chargepoint.com.au).
