City of Melbourne | CH2 Building

Council House 2 is a visionary building leading the way in ecologically sustainable design and facility management.

In 2004, the City of Melbourne was faced with an accommodation dilemma. Staff were housed in dated office buildings which although
centrally located to the Town Hall, were nearing the end of their lifespan. Rather than relocate staff to alternative offices, Council embarked
on an ambitious plan to construct a new office building, Council House 2 (CH2), that would meet its spatial requirements and lead the way
in the development of an holistic green environment.

CH2 has been designed to not only conserve energy and water, but the quality of the internal environment of building has also been
designed to improve the wellbeing of its occupants. CH2 demonstrates a new approach to workplace design, creating a model for others to
learn from and follow.

A number of projects across Melbourne have been born out of the CH2 experience including: The Bowls Club in Flagstaff Gardens, East
Melbourne Library and the 'Venny' Adventure Playground in Kensington.

Eco-Cubby is a project that provides an extension of the City's Council House 2 sustainable community across the State – aiming to
educate young people and communities about sustainable design.

Regional Arts Victoria

Regional Arts Victoria (RAV) is a not for profit arts organisation that initiates, facilitates and celebrates the arts in regional communities. RAV’s schools’ and education program, arts2GO, provides young people across Victoria with access to high-quality performing and visual arts experiences through a range of contemporary, relevant and curriculum-integrated performances and workshops across all art-forms: theatre, dance, literature, visual art, new media and music.

RAV is committed to making performances affordable and accessible for all Victorian schools and communities, regardless of size, distance or disadvantage. To do this, program staff source philanthropic support for Primary and Secondary Schools' Subsidy Programs to ensure schools have direct access to additional funding support if they believe their school community or student cohort to be unduly disadvantaged.
