With a strong commitment to innovation and protecting the planet, the City of Fremantle identified the One Planet Living framework as the most effective tool to reduce its environmental impact, deliver a higher quality of life for residents and create new business opportunities.
Fremantle's ambitious One Planet Action Plan shares targets for the council as well as the city itself and it was recognised for its commitment to One Planet Living in 2015. Check out its One Planet Action Plan and its annual reviews below.
