A Love Local Sustainability Tour (Lake Macquarie NSW)

Join this Love Local tour on the western side of Lake Macquarie for an on-the-ground look at what's already happening here for a healthier planet. ReNewy Living is connecting you with a network of people, businesses and organisations doing good - starting right where they live.

Guided and facilitated by Mardi Lee from ReNewy Living, this small-group, drive-yourself tour will take you to three spots on the west side of Lake Macquarie:

• Visit Lake Macquarie's first, now-established Tiny Forest by ReLeaf Lake Mac, with Anna Noon from The Groundswell Collective

• A private tour of Lake Macquarie City Council's FOGO facility and Community Recycling Centre at Awaba

• Visit a private garden - the owner has created her garden and developed her skills over the last 10 years to make it a self-sustaining family garden - a wonderful chance to learn from each other

What to Bring / Wear

• Closed-in shoes

• Sun hat and sunscreen

• Wet weather gear such as raincoats and umbrellas

• Water bottle

• BYO morning tea and hot/cold drinks. You can also BYO lunch, but we have a booking at a local pub to enjoy the $15 lunch special

• BYO chairs for visiting to the private garden

NB: Attendees will drive themselves to each venue. However, car-sharing may be needed for the Awaba Waste Facility visit, as parking there is limited.

The event will still go ahead in wet weather.
