Join NQCC at Our Townsville on Sunday, June 15 for a fun-filled day celebrating our beautiful natural environment!

We’ve got something for everyone – from face painting and a nature scavenger hunt for the kids, to engaging conversations about building a greener future for Townsville. Learn how you can get involved in local conservation efforts and even find out how to win an electric bike!

Feeling inspired to reconnect with nature and your community? We’d love your help on the day! Whether it's chatting with young scavenger hunters, setting up our stall, or sharing NQCC’s vision for a more sustainable North Queensland – every bit helps.

To volunteer, get in touch with our Community Campaigner, Luna.

We can’t wait to see you there!

Back by Popular Demand – NQCC’s Community Garage Sale!
Saturday 21 June from 7am

Last year’s Garage Sale was such a hit, we knew we had to do it again! So many people asked us to bring it back - and we listened.

It’s a fun and eco-friendly way to recycle, find hidden treasures, connect with the community, and best of all - raise funds for NQCC!
Expect bargains, a delicious bake sale, and a raffle you won’t want to miss.

Have unwanted goods to donate?
We welcome donations! Please drop off items by Thursday 19 June so we can sort and price them.

• If the office is open and your items are manageable, leave them on the veranda
• If the office is closed or your items are bulky, place them under the house.
• Check the criteria for accepted items below.

Want to get involved?
This is a great one-off volunteer opportunity - perfect for busy bees!
