Welcome Knox, we are so excited to have you!

You and your community are officially part of the @ HOME program and we couldn’t be happier to welcome you all. Given you are nestled at the base of the Dandenong Ranges, with its incredible walking trails, thriving bushland reserves, and community spirit, Knox is the perfect place to take local sustainability to the next level.

So, what’s @ HOME all about, and how will it support you as a resident to make small, impactful changes that benefit your home, your wallet, and the planet?

How Knox is helping residents save energy and reduce costs

With the rising cost of living, we know how important it is to find smart, practical ways to save money. That’s why @ HOME focuses on home-based sustainability, helping you make everyday changes that reduce your bills, not just your environmental footprint.



Whether it’s cutting down on energy use, reducing waste, or learning how to use water more wisely, the program is packed with practical tools, tips, and resources to make life easier (and greener) for households across Knox.

Tackling the issues that matter most to your community

We know Knox locals are proud of where they live and with good reason. But it’s no secret there are some big issues many people are facing right now.

From housing affordability and limited public transport, to growing development and the loss of canopy trees, the environment and liveability of the area are top of mind. And on a personal level, many households are dealing with the pressure of rising costs, bin limitations, and a feeling of being stretched too thin to take on something new.

That’s exactly why the @ HOME program is designed to meet you where you’re at.

It’s simple, it’s community-led, and it focuses on what’s possible, even if you’re time-poor, renting, or don’t know where to start.

Local champions already making a difference

Knox is lucky to have passionate people already doing great work on the ground. Groups like the Knox Environment Society, Knox Community Gardens, and Knox Repair Café have been leading the way with practical, people-powered sustainability for years.

@ HOME is here to shine a light on these legends, connect more locals to their work, and support others to get involved, whether that’s attending a workshop, volunteering your time, or simply following along and learning something new.

Throughout the year, you’ll see a range of activities popping up across Knox. These might include:

• Free or low-cost workshops and events
• Helpful guides and resources delivered straight to your inbox
• Community stories and spotlight features on local changemakers
• Pop-up activations at festivals and local events (like the Knox Festival in March 2026!)

And if you’re already doing something great, this is a chance to share your story and help inspire others. From composting to installing solar panels or just sorting your bins right, it all counts.

Making change can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. One of the most exciting parts of @ HOME is that it brings people together, neighbours, community groups, council, and everyday residents, to support one another and celebrate the wins, big or small.

So, whether you’re a seasoned eco-warrior or just looking to get started, we’re glad you’re here.
