City of Casey announces community climate action initiative

The City of Casey in Victoria has commenced its Climate Action Living Lab, which aims to harness the collective expertise of a range of partners to address climate challenges for a safer, more sustainable future.

To address these challenges, organisations operating in the climate-ready space were invited to apply for a Climate Action Living Lab grant in August 2024. Following an extensive application process, six organisations have been chosen to partner with the council over the next 12 months to trial solutions for climate action.

City of Casey Mayor Cr Stefan Koomen said the Climate Action Living Lab will focus on three key areas: safety and climate resilience, sustainability and biodiversity, and renewable energy.

“These focus areas align directly with the priorities identified by our community, and we are excited to work with our partners to tackle these challenges head-on,” he said.

The following organisations were selected to be part of the Climate Action Living Lab:  

Monash Climate Change Communication Research Hub: empowering youth for climate action
Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne: Raising Rarity – City of Casey school outreach program
Federation University: using UV-C technology to reduce chemical weedicide
Equoia: clean mobile power for a sustainable future
Western Port Catchment Landcare Network: City of Casey a community of bandicoot buddies
Mornington Peninsula and Western Port Biosphere Reserve Foundation: Western Port Koala corridor project
 

“There are some amazing trials happening across the city and I am looking forward to seeing how they progress over the coming months,” Koomen said.
