How do we harness our region's exceptional renewable energy potential while respecting Country and community?

We hope you can join us for this interactive workshop, where we'll be sharing what we've learned from local stakeholders and experts through our Mapping our Energy Future project - and seeking your thoughts on what comes next.

We'll be asking:

➡️ If we want renewables done right in our region, what needs to be done? What needs to change?

➡️ What are the main concerns you have (or hear) about the energy transition? How can these concerns be addressed? 

➡️ If we were to host a local Community Energy Forum, who should present and who should attend? 

Please join from 8.45am to settle in for a 9am start. Morning tea provided!

Let's help look after our reef together!

Tangaroa Blue Foundation's Great Barrier Reef Clean Up is back - and we're excited to get in on the action!

Spend a Sunday morning in nature with community-minded locals, removing litter from the edges of Ross Creek in Lou Lister Park, at the stadium overflow parking (see map below).

All rubbish collected with be sorted, counted and weighed, contributing to vital citizen science data!

Please wear sun-safe clothing, long pants and closed-in shoes. Gloves will be provided, but feel free to bring your own if you like. Morning tea will be provided, and water to refill your bottle.

Children under 15 are welcome but must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times. 

We'll meet under the shady tree opposite Officeworks (marked with a star on the map below) at 7.50am to kick off our safety briefing at 8am. We hope you can join us!
