The $230,000 101 Collins St system was also partially funded by council, with a $4000 rebate through the City of Melbourne’s Commercial Solar Rebate Program…“Our goal for carbon neutrality is for the whole municipality so we applaud the commitment being shown by management and tenants of 101 Collins Street and we hope that other building owners follow their lead,” said Councillor Arron Wood, chair of the City of Melbourne’s Environment Portfolio…“There are 58,000 dwellings in the municipality covered by strata schemes and more than 1.5 million square meters of commercial strata titled property. Residents and businesses within these properties can access 100% finance for environmental upgrades through Sustainable Melbourne Fund,” said Cr Arron Wood.
