The City of Yarra is an inner Melbourne municipality with a diverse community of about 100,700 people. The Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung are the Traditional Owners of the land, which holds great cultural significance. Yarra was the first local council in Victoria to implement a multi-site Energy Performance Contract, upgrading buildings with efficient lighting, insulation, solar hot water, and heating and cooling systems. These upgrades save around 2,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually. With a goal of net-zero emissions by 2035, Yarra advances renewable energy programs, partners with Traditional Owners in decision-making, and leads the transition away from fossil fuels.
