Darebin City Council is excited to announce that we have won a Premier’s Sustainability Awards in the Thriving Environment category for our Rewilding Darebin project.
This award recognises our work in integrating natural landscape elements into urban spaces for the benefit of both public health and the conservation of biodiversity.
The 2022 award winners were congratulated at an awards ceremony hosted by broadcaster, columnist and author Alice Zaslavsky on Tuesday 20 September.
Fungi Solution’s innovative approach to transforming waste materials into compostable packaging and the Euroa Arboretum’s role in restoring a degraded paddock to its pre-colonial state as a grassy woodland were personally selected by Premier Daniel Andrews to receive the top award in this year’s Premier’s Sustainability Awards.
The awards, now in their 20th year, recognise Victorians who have demonstrated leadership and innovation in sustainable practices. They are delivered by Sustainability Victoria on behalf of the Victorian Government along with major partners the Banksia Foundation and Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria.
