The City is taking a lead role in helping residents reduce their environmental impact and save money. The Sustainable Household Evaluation Program is designed to increase householder awareness of sustainable living practices and reduce the use of energy and water, increasing recycling and address travel habits. This is achieved via in-home evaluations designed to empower you with the necessary information, advice and incentives to implement best practice.

Program steps

Trained experts from Village Green Environmental Solutions Pty. Ltd. will visit you to benchmark your energy and water use as well as to discuss the households waste management practices and travel preferences. The process of the in-home evaluation is based on behaviour change techniques and involves you and the assessor completing an action plan for improvement. The action plan consists of a number of actions or goals which you will try to achieve during the program. Residents participating in the program receive a free kit worth $60 to start saving energy and water immediately. The kit contains items such as compact fluorescent globes, thermometers, shower timers and window seals. Village Green will return four months later and carry out a follow up evaluation to calculate your reductions. Your participation in the program will be acknowledged with an achievement certificate and ‘Sustainable Subiaco Home’ window sticker.
