MESSAGE FROM THE LORD MAYOR OF MELBOURNE

Join the movement to embrace sustainability. The City of Melbourne is proud to support the Zero Waste Festival, now in its seventh year as part of RESET at Fed Square. This vibrant community-focused event is packed with innovative ideas and inspiration to tackle waste and consumption. This festival inspires us to think about our choices and their impact on the environment.

From inspiring talks, a clothes swap, to a repair café, this festival empowers our community to embrace sustainable living and reduce waste. It is an opportunity to connect, learn and take meaningful steps towards a greener future.

Our city is committed to sustainability and reducing waste. On behalf of the City of Melbourne, I thank the festival organisers for their dedication and vision in creating an event that allows everyone to learn more about sustainability in fun and interactive ways.
