Climate Change & Environmental Initiatives

How Can You Get Involved?

 

Since 1999 the City of Port Phillip has introduced and supported numerous environmental initiatives that have assisted in improving the lifestyle of our community and creating a more viable future for our city. These initiatives have assisted in achieving energy savings, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and building a sustainable environment. The council's list of 'green' initiatives grows every year.
