The Shire of Mundaring has joined the Switch Your Thinking program as a partner council.

The program is an award-winning local government sustainability initiative, delivered across several local government areas in the Greater Perth Region that supports residents, businesses, and councils to take sustainable action.

Support is provided through community events, negotiating discounts for residents and businesses on sustainable products and providing up to date and locally relevant information.

Residents and businesses located in the Shire have access to discounts on products to make their homes or businesses more sustainable through Switch Your Thinking’s Rewards for Residents and Rewards for Business programs. By helping the local community reduce greenhouse gas emissions the Shire is contributing to global efforts to secure a safe climate. Another perk for businesses is the Switched on Business Awards which celebrate environmentally conscious businesses who have made great efforts to make their operations more sustainable. Twice a year, businesses in the Shire of Mundaring can apply to the Switched on Business Awards to be celebrated for their efforts to reduce environmental impacts. Winners will receive a framed certificate which is presented by a Councillor from the local government at an official event. If you are the winner, your business will be acknowledged on the Switch Your Thinking website, Facebook and LinkedIn pages and the e-newsletters. For more information, head to the Switched on Business page.

Shire of Mundaring residents can sign up for free monthly e-news or free Energysmart SMS tips to help them do their bit to move toward a sustainable future.
