Councils receive funding boost for local repair, reuse and recycle programs

Sustainability Victoria

Eleven metropolitan and regional councils will continue their transition to a circular economy, thanks to funding from the Victorian Government.

The $1.6 million Circular Economy Councils Fund will support local projects including a resale shop providing Nagambie residents with access to pre-loved goods, and a roving repair program giving residents in Bayside City Council a local solution to repairing or repurposing quality items.

In a first of its kind for the area, a tool library will give Wyndham residents the opportunity to borrow a variety of quality tools, enabling participation in the sharing economy.
