Partnership – 

These kits were donated to Myli in 2023 as a collaboration between Bass Coast, Baw Baw, Cardinia Shire, and South Gippsland councils. We are grateful to Casey, Darebin, and Hobart councils for providing the instructional materials from their home energy efficiency kits as a guide. The support of the Energy Innovation Cooperative in developing early versions of these kits is also acknowledged, as is their continued work in supporting community energy solutions.
