Orka Advisory was engaged by a local government body to deliver a 90-minute Electrification Masterclass for the Sustainable Destination Partnership, targeting hotels, venues, museums, and tourism operators. The aim was to accelerate fossil fuel phase-out and support net zero goals across the visitor economy.
The engagement was structured around the workstreams required to address the client's specific context, priorities and objectives.
Designed an interactive webinar with a slide deck and resource pack, focusing on electrifying existing buildings, particularly removing gas from DHW systems and kitchens.
Showcased leading Australian electrification examples including Sydney Fish Market’s all-electric Seafood School, Powerhouse Parramatta’s fossil-free design, and Mercure hotels’ CO2 heat pump retrofits.
Engaged SDP members and sector leaders to incorporate real-world insights and encourage knowledge sharing within the partnership.
Each workstream contributes to the broader objective of helping the organisation move forward with greater clarity, capability and confidence.
The value of the engagement is reflected in stronger capability, clearer priorities and practical progress for the organisation.
The masterclass equipped tourism operators with clear pathways, tools, and examples to implement electrification projects.
Positioned the local goverment body and program as national leaders in sustainable visitor economy initiatives.
Provided participants with resource links, calculators, and guidance aligned with the Better Buildings Partnership and GBCA electrification guides to drive immediate action.
