Awarding of Sustainability Victoria’s Circular Economy Organics Fund Published on 18 November 2024 Hepburn Shire Council (Council) is pleased to announce that we have received a $92,949 Circular Economy Organics Council Fund grant from the Victorian Government through Sustainability Victoria for our ‘Optimising compost quality for beneficial application’ project.  Bradley Thomas, Council’s CEO, said that Council is proud to support actions which champion Victoria’s transition to a circular economy, and implementation of Council’s Sustainable Hepburn strategy.  “The project will enable Council to carry out a scientifically rigorous study of soil and tree health after applying compost generated from our organics collection to a range of Council-managed parks and open spaces,” said Mr Thomas.   Encouraging healthier soils and trees leads to improved climate resilience.
