Moreland Energy Foundation

Keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer - and save money too

Australian studies have shown we waste up to 30% of the energy used in our homes.

Zero Carbon Moreland’s Concession Assist is free for Health Care Card, Concession Card and Pension Card holders living in Moreland.

It will help make your home more comfortable and lower your energy bills by giving you:

• Free products to make your home more energy and water efficient – installed at no charge

• The right energy efficiency advice for your home

• Ongoing support through the Zero Carbon Moreland community program

See the Concession Assist page for more information and to register.

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.

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.

A study by the Moreland Energy Foundation for Sustainability Victoria, May 2010.

MEFL is undertaking a consulting contract with Sustainability Victoria. The research project is gathering information about the energy efficiency of existing Victorian houses. The study so far has given us a better understanding of just how inefficient Melbourne's older houses are, what needs to be done to improve them, and how much it might cost.

Join MEFL in an alliance of social, consumer and environment groups calling on the next Victorian Government to get serious about energy and water efficiency in one million Victorian homes.

While government drags its heels on an effective price on carbon pollution, our buildings and homes remain prime real estate for a major energy and water efficiency overhaul, and real action on climate change.

The One Million Homes vision has brought together broad community support. Environment groups (including MEFL), social welfare groups, unions, manufacturers and business have joined together to put pressure on the government to make a historic change in the energy and water efficiency of Victoria's existing residential properties.

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.
