Hepburn Z-NET is a collaborative partnership bringing together community groups, organisations, community members, experts and council to shift the Hepburn Shire to zero-net energy by 2025 and zero-net emissions by 2030.

As a community transition, having good governance structures is key to building and delivering a zero-net emission transition plan that represents the needs of our community. Under a Collaborative Governance model, members of the Z-NET Roundtable guide delivery and the Hepburn Shire Council has a key role as the backbone for the group.

The Z-NET Roundtable welcomes local and diverse stakeholders from across the shire to apply. Expressions of interest will remain open until 12pm on Monday 25 November 2024 and applicants will hear back in early December.

Please review the terms of reference, the Community Transition Plan, Code of Conduct, and fill out the form below to express your interest.

Get your expression of interest in by midday 25 November by filling out this short application form.

A selection committee made up of three current members of the Z-NET Roundtable will consider all applications and present their recommendations to the 2024 Roundtable for endorsement.

All successful applicants will be contacted and their position confirmed in early December. From there an induction pack will be sent out along with a proposed schedule of meetings for 2025.
