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 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. The governance model has been refreshed for 2025-2026 to have a Steering Committee that guides and tracks progress on the journey to zero emissions and enables thinktank ‘Roundtable Events’ on critical emission reduction topics across the year. Hepburn Shire Council and Hepburn Energy have a key role as the Secretariat for the Steering Committee.

Thank you to those who have applied. Further updates will be made on this page.
