The City of Melbourne returns in 2025 as the Festival’s proud Principal Partner. We celebrate this highly valued partnership and the tremendous support to help foster sustainability in our community.
“The City of Melbourne is proud to be a Principal Partner of the National Sustainability Festival which supports Melbourne’s efforts to address climate change. The event is the largest sustainability festival in Australia, inspiring people to rapidly shift to a zero-emissions nation.
Partnerships between councils and organisations drive real change. When sharing ideas, individuals and organisations can have a real impact. I congratulate the organisers of the National Sustainability Festival with its well-informed framework covering energy, water, waste, transport and procurement.
At the City of Melbourne we continue to encourage all Melburnians to embrace sustainable living. Through planning, sustainable urban design and urban forest initiatives, our city is responding with meaningful action.
Through lively talks and workshops and family activities, this festival helps put everyone on the path to more sustainable living. I invite everyone to participate wholeheartedly in the National Sustainability Festival of 2025.”
