This project also launched an electric vehicle charger connected to a community battery.
Community batteries strengthen the grid to support more connections such as rooftop solar and electric vehicle charging. Ausgrid installed this public EV charger connected to the community battery to demonstrate how storage can support the electrification of transport.
For further information read the media release and watch the community battery video.

Healthy Dharagang by Shane Youngberry
Shane Youngberry is a proud Dharawal man from the Gweagal Clan. Growing up in La Perouse, his artist father inspired him from a young age. Shane’s family has unbroken links to Coastal Sydney, where stories have been passed down and inspired his art.
"Healthy Dharagang, meaning Healthy River shows smoke coming off campsites and people hunting along the river. It demonstrates how important the rivers and waterways were for Aboriginal people and the animals that lived in and around them. Rivers were hunting and camping grounds for local clans. They facilitated coming together to share stories, information, and trade. The artwork conveys the importance of keeping our waterways clean, as they are an invaluable resource to all living things."
We wish to acknowledge this artwork was provided on behalf of the Gujaga Foundation and Dharawal people of the La Perouse Aboriginal community.
