Network Meeting - Sustainability in Carlton
In March, the Opportunities for Carlton network
came together to reflect on the great achievements
through the project to date, and to explore
the key theme of sustainability in Carlton.
In partnership with the City of Melbourne’s
Eco-City Forums, we explored options to transform
Carlton into a 'green' precinct, reducing
our ecological footprint through active community
involvement.
