Department of Sustainability & Environment: Conservation Objective: Reduce Melbourne's water consumption.
'Our Water, Our Future'.
Action resulting from campaign:
After the first nine months:
- Average shower length was reduced by one minute (from seven to six
minutes) saving thousands of litres of precious drinking water.
- Over 68,000 Victorians bought water saving products as part of the
rebates scheme.
- More than 50,000 Victorians requested a Water Savers' kit.
- Over 80,000 calls were made to the Water Savers' hotline.
- 20,000 website visits.
Shannon's way doesn't just change behaviour through "advertising"
campaigns. We look at ideas that make changing behaviour easier. For
example, a press advertisement gave away 50,000 Water Saver Kits
containing an easy to fit Shower Control Valve.
