This year, the Smart Living Expo is igniting a regional movement, 'Smarter Together' is a community campaign celebrating the people, businesses, and ideas shaping a more sustainable world.

We’re calling on local businesses, schools, organisations, and individuals to share their Smarter Together Initiatives, from eco-conscious operations and carbon reduction efforts to renewable energy projects, sustainable food production, and environmentally responsible products and services.

This is a moment to celebrate how far we’ve come as a region and to inspire others to take part. Every action, big or small, contributes to a smarter, healthier, and more connected community.

Your story could be featured as part of the Smarter Together campaign and showcased during Smart Living Expo 2026 at Royal Park, Buninyong — helping amplify local leadership and real-world solutions.

Let’s show Victoria what’s possible when we work Smarter Together.
