Apply for a Cool Seat

In 2024, two Ku-ring-gai communities—a 20-unit apartment block and a kindergarten—won ‘Cool Seat’ compost systems thanks to Ku-ring-gai Council’s ‘Net Zero’ Team, Electrifying Bradfield and sustainable designer Michael Mobbs. Now you have a chance to win one of four Cool Seats for your community.

Applications close 28th September 2025 at 5pm.

Sustainable Futures Day

Here is David Smith from Electrifying Bradfield helping children with the solar car challenge. Electrifying Bradfield has facilitated access to the solar car kits from Kite Magic. These kits are made from a range of re-purposed, specially 3D printed and sourced components. The components are designed in a way that requires participants to experiment in order to get an effective solar car, teaching both problem solving and aspects of renewable power.

If your school/organisation would like to run Solar Car days, please contact Electrifying Bradfield.

Why electrify Bradfield? 
Ku-ring-gai and Hornsby residents decided they wanted to make a difference to the challenges of our times - the climate emergency by grassroots community action.

What is the goal of electrifying Bradfield?
To encourage and support every household in the Bradfield electorate to generate, store and use renewable energy, principally from solar power and battery storage by 2032.
