The City of Melbourne became a certified carbon neutral organisation for the first time in 2011-12.

City of Melbourne became a certified carbon neutral organisation for the first time in 2011-12. We are trialing technologies and improving the environmental performance of our properties. We set the municipal target of zero net emissions by 2020. We are working closely with Victorian, Australian and local governments, businesses, partners and the people of Melbourne to achieve this. We are supporting the city’s residents, business owners, building owners, workers and visitors by ensuring they have the information needed to reduce emissions. Our innovative 1200 Buildings, Smart Blocks, City Switch and Solar Programs provide information, solutions and address barriers to reducing emissions.
