The Australian Services Union (ASU) has notified Darebin City Council and the other seven councils joined in multi-employer bargaining that they plan to take strike action on Tuesday 5 May. Some council services may be affected by the ASU’s strike. We will keep you informed as much as possible.
We support residents and businesses to reduce energy bills and improve comfort by making their homes and workplaces more energy efficient through education, tailored advice, behavioural change and financial support.
We’re inviting local artists to create a playful comic-style character that helps bring energy efficiency to life across Darebin.
Through a series of engaging storyboards, your work will explore how small changes at home or at work can reduce energy bills, improve comfort, and support a healthier way of living.
This is a chance to use your creativity to care for the environment while connecting with the local community in a meaningful way.
Help us turn everyday climate action into stories people can see themselves in – and enjoy along the way.
If you have any questions or would like to participate, download the competition guidelines(PDF, 125KB) and submit your application to energyupgrades@darebin.vic.gov.au.
