Moreland City Council acknowledges we are in a state of climate emergency that requires urgent action by all levels of government, including local Councils.
This is why in 2017/18, Moreland City Council and Australian Energy Foundation developed Moreland’s Zero Carbon 2040 Framework.
This framework is designed to guide our community to transition to zero carbon by 2040 – 10 years ahead of the State Government’s target for reaching zero emissions in Victoria.
What is the 2040 framework?
The Moreland Zero Carbon – 2040 Framework defines the key priorities for driving emissions reductions across three target areas:
- energy transition
- sustainable transport
- waste and consumption
The key priorities for action and advocacy outcomes within the Framework will be reviewed each five years and re-set for the following five-years.
This Framework builds on the original 2014 Zero Carbon Evolution (ZCE) Strategy and the ZCE – Refresh to 2020.

Action draft plan consultation
Climate change is a dangerous threat to earth’s people, plants and animals.
It is Moreland City Council’s plan to be a ‘zero carbon’ community by 2040. More and more local residents, businesses and councils are facing the urgent challenge of responding to the climate emergency.
The draft Zero Carbon Moreland – Action Plan 2020/21 – 2024/25 proposes key initiatives and programs for the first five-year period of the Zero Carbon Moreland 2040 Framework.
Council is undertaking extended community and stakeholder consultation, over four to five months, before finalising the 5-year Action Plan.
You can view the draft action plan on council’s website.
