Victorian Solar Energy Council

Full description

The Victorian Solar Energy Council was established on 17 December 1980 under the Victorian Solar Energy Council Act 1980 (No.9387). The Council consisted of a Chairman and three members appointed by the Governor-in-Council.

The Victorian Solar Energy Council superseded the Victorian Solar Energy Research Committee (VA 3118).

Under the Act, the Minister could establish committees to advise the Council on any matters relevant to its function. Several such committees were appointed.

In 1990, the Renewable Energy Authority Victoria (VA 3117) was established under the provisions of the Renewable Energy Authority Victoria Act 1990 (No.40) to replace the Victorian Solar Energy Council.
