Mayor: Andrea Metcalf
The City of Greater Bendigo has adopted a new Climate Change and Environment Strategy to accelerate local climate action and guide us to achieve net zero emissions by 2030.
The City has already switched to renewable energy for its own energy needs via the Victorian Energy Collaboration - the largest-ever emissions reduction project undertaken by Local Governments in Australia.
We continue to upgrade our buildings to improve their energy efficiency and are incrementally transitioning our facilities off of gas. We are switching over our fleet to electric vehicles to reduce emissions from fossil fuels and are exploring waste management solutions to reduce emissions from landfill and our waste collection services.
We are also about to start the Greater Bendigo Climate Collaboration, which involves working with stakeholders across the City and region to help households, businesses and organisations reduce emissions as quickly as possible.
We are excited to be leading by example.
The City of Greater Bendigo is on Dja Dja Wurrung and Taungurung Country. We acknowledge and extend our appreciation for the Dja Dja Wurrung and Taungurung Peoples, the Traditional Owners of this land. We pay our respects to leaders and Elders past, present and emerging for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and the hopes of all Dja Dja Wurrung and Taungurung Peoples.
