CABSE membership is open to all Victorian councils.
CASBE is driven by our member councils. Each member council holds a position on the CASBE Steering Committee, which meets three times a year.
Scroll down to see a complete list of our members.
The Steering Committee is the primary decision-making forum for the alliance, guiding the development and implementation of the strategic plan and CASBE’s key projects. CASBE is a highly collaborative, grass roots association committed to strengthening strong local government partnerships and the delivery of practical, effective sustainability initiatives.
To become a member of CASBE, councils sign the CASBE Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV). The MoU operates on a three‑year cycle, and new councils join for the remainder of the current period. The current MoU expires on 30 June 2026.
Please note that a council must be a CASBE member to subscribe to the BESS tool. A separate subscription fee applies. A BESS subscription enables industry use of the tool within your municipality.
