Merlynston Village Green
A small suburb thinking big
The Merlynston Village Green project explored what is possible when focusing on a smaller geographic area of Moreland. ZCM, with support of our project partner Yarra Valley Water, conducted a six month pilot behaviour change project to develop energy and water conservation literacy across Merlynston, an area within Coburg North, to enhance the community’s capacity to respond to climate change.
See the Merlynston Village Green page in our ZCM section.
In Common Language
The In Common Language Project was launched in early 2011. The objective of the project is to increase the availability of usable and relevant information to Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities, and support these communities to prepare for the effects of climate change and reduce their impact on the environment.

Healthy Climate Project
MEFL is collaborating with Merri Community Health Services (MCHS) to reduce the vulnerability of people in Moreland at risk to the impacts of climate change. Specifically, it will reduce the incidence of heat related illnesses and deaths by recruiting MCHS clients to receive free home retrofits and advice for behavioural changes through the Warm Home Cool Home program.
Zero Carbon Moreland
MEFL has teamed up with Moreland City Council and the Australian Government's Solar Cities Project to launch the Zero Carbon Moreland campaign. This project aims to assist households, businesses and community groups in reaching the extraordinary target of zero net emissions by 2030.
Moreland Solar City
Moreland is just one of seven cities included in the Australian Government's Solar Cities initiative. Other cities/regions included are: Adelaide, Alice Springs, Blacktown, Central Victoria, Perth and Townsville.
Inclusion in this program means Moreland will receive funding to integrate a range of energy efficiency measures into local homes and businesses. This will include a combination of solar technologies, as well as community education about energy usage.
