"The Brumby Labor Government is providing $1 million to establish “EcoLiving” Centres across Victoria that will help the community learn how to live sustainably. Visiting Ballarat, Environment and Climate Change Minister Gavin Jennings announced four new projects that will provide information, training programs, demonstrations and displays on sustainable living.
“The Brumby Labor Government is working in partnership with the community to help address climate change,” Mr Jennings said. “The EcoLiving Centres will be located in Ballarat, Wangaratta, Mildura and Melbourne’s South East and will see the development of EcoLiving Centres and hubs. “The centres will provide practical information and advice on how we can make our homes and workplaces greener so we can collectively take action on climate change.
There will be demonstrations on sustainable technologies including solar panels and solar hot water as well as training and information on subjects such as how to complete sustainable renovations.”
