Visit
Summary
Hepburn Shire is known for being a beautiful tourist destination. Thousands of people visit each year and give back to our community but emissions from our visitors are high. Although tourism was out of the Z-NET scope, if we were to include tourism emissions, they would account for an additional 25.3%. The bulk of these emissions come from transport (89.4% of tourism emissions) followed by stationary energy (9.2%) and waste (1.4%).
