❗ Big news for Queanbeyan-Palerang! ❗ The Regional Council has released a draft policy that would stop new wood heaters from being approved in urban areas when building or renovating homes. This would be a game-changer for people with asthma and many others whose health is negatively affected by wood heater smoke 🙏 We know wood heaters cause significant health damage, with research in the ACT - which is right across the border from the Queanbeyan-Palerang local government area - estimating up to 63 deaths each year are due to wood heater smoke. Wood heaters are the major source of winter air pollution in many towns. But there’s hope for cleaner air! Our consumer research shows that most households in NSW using wood heaters also use an alternative, efficient heating source like reverse cycle air conditioning. We’ve joined the Centre for Safe Air and the HEAL Network to support this policy, which aims to protect health by reducing the number of wood heaters and encouraging modern, efficient heating options.
