                    Sustainable Melbourne Fund is a commercially oriented, independently managed unit trust established by Melbourne City Council in 2002 to progress sustainable development in greater Melbourne.

                    Sustainable Melbourne Fund's services include: 

                    • administering the environmental upgrade finance mechanism within the City of Melbourne’s 1200 Buildings program
                    • operating an investment program that provides loans of up to $500,000 for individual projects that deliver environmental and economic benefits.  

                    The fund has invested millions of dollars into sustainability projects and established a track record of integrating energy efficiency, renewable energy and sustainability into the built environment.

                    You can learn about some of the major building retrofits funded through environmental upgrade finance, including targeted energy and emissions savings and other key project details in a series of fact sheets and case s​tudies produced by Sustainable Melbourne Fund and City of Melbourne.
