EcoFest 2026

Please note, there will be a photographer and videographer capturing pictures and footage of the event, with content taken to be used for promotional purposes by the City of Melville and the stallholders.

EcoFest is back for 2026! Join us for a fun, hands-on celebration of nature and sustainability.

Bring the family along for a free day out at the EcoHub to meet wildlife, enjoy activities, talks, stalls and experiences designed to help you grow food, create habitat and connect with your community.

This event celebrates and promotes the action being taken locally and showcases the simple ways that we can make a difference in our own homes and everyday lives to grow a greener future together.

Whats on:

• Kids Zone - including face painters and hands on activities

• Wildlife encounters

• Guided nature walks

• Expert panels and Q&As on growing food, creating habitat, and connecting with community

• Interactive stalls and displays (check back for a stallholder list in mid-October)

• Food trucks and live music

• and plenty more to discover on the day!

Children must be accompanied and supervised by a responsible adult at all times. This will be a smoke and alcohol free event.

Please be aware that this event will include spaces within an indoor venue, where dogs can not be accommodated.

Plan your visit:

This is a waste wise event. Please bring your own water bottle, reusable bag, and keep cup.

Parking:

Walk, ride, or scoot to the event if you can. Limited parking is available at the Murdoch Drive Carpark.

Event overflow parking will be provided on the grassed area to the north of the Murdoch Drive carpark. You will need to drive into the carpark, turn right at the roundabout, and follow directions of our parking attendants.

It is a ten minute walk or a three minute cycle to the event (at the EcoHub) from the carpark. Make an outing of it, bring your bikes and scooters or pop your kids into a beach trolley and enjoy the bushland trails! Due to limited parking, we recommend carpooling with friends and family.

Cycling Without Age volunteers will be providing free rides on their trishaw ebikes to and from the event parking. There will also be a drop-off and pick up location closer to the event.

Public Transport:

If you live locally why not cycle or walk? There are bus-stops on Leach Hwy within a 15 minute walk and Bull Creek Train Station is close by - plan your journey with public transport https://www.transperth.wa.gov.au/Journey-Planner.

There will be a drop-off and pick up space at the front of the centre and 6 bays set aside for ACROD holders (please note that these bays are accessed via Leach Hwy and are 130m from the event entrance).
