Green Melbourne Highlights

Green Hotels

The City of Melbourne's 'Savings in the City' programme helps hotels cut energy, water and waste, resulting in many green 'savings', including an average reduction of water use of 15.3 litres per guest per night in the last two years.

Green Incentives

From joining a revegetation program along Victoria's stunning surfcoast, to 'grape grazing' at a picturesque winery sourcing local and 'low food miles' produce, Victoria's green incentive options are plentiful.

Green Transport

Melbourne has an excellent transport network that includes low carbon impact transportation such as wind-powered trams and the Skybus Super Shuttle - Melbourne's airport/city shuttle, which is Australia's first 'carbon neutral' public transport operator.

Green Venues

Melbourne's new Convention Centre is leading the world on the environmental front - it is the first and only Convention Centre in the world to be awarded a Six Star, Green Star environmental energy rating.

Green Leisure

Victoria's diverse natural attractions range from desert, mountain, alpine and coastal, to riverine and rainforest landscapes. Victoria also has the greatest biodiversity, relative to land size, in Australia. For a green city escape, visit the Royal Botanic Gardens. Recognised as one of the world's finest, the 38 hectare garden is home to 50,000 individual plants, Melbourne's favourite running track, and many of the city's favourite cultural events, such as Moonlight Cinema and outdoor theatre productions.
