Climate Emergency
In response to the declaration of a climate emergency, the City of Melville has revitalized the core mission of the City of Melville EcoHub, aiming to educate the wider community about sustainable living, Noongar culture, and environmental conservation.
To effectively fulfill this mission, the resources and facilities of this venue are dedicated solely to programs and events that prioritise sustainability and environmental awareness.About EcoHub
City of Melville EcoHub is located within
Piney Lakes Reserve. The centre was built in 2001 to showcase sustainable building practices and support ongoing community education about the environment, sustainable living and Noongar culture.
The centre reduces carbon output and minimises environmental impact through sustainable building technology. The centre was built using recycled and locally sourced materials, makes use of renewable resources, and was designed to be climate sensitive reducing the need for active heating and cooling.
