Sustainability Workshops

People watching a workshop demonstration

One of the ways the City promotes sustainability is by offering sustainability workshops and courses for local residents and ratepayers.

Delivered by sustainability experts throughout the year, the workshops cover topics including water and energy conservation, waste reduction, home food production, biodiversity enhancement and the environmental impacts of our purchasing habits.

This year, the City has partnered with Ecoburbia and Switch Your Thinking to offer free sustainability workshops to the community. Participants will learn practical tips they can take home and put into action straight away.

This program supports the City’s commitment to promoting sustainable water, waste, land and energy practices.
