The Banyule Loves...Workshop Series explores the lost art of sustainable, climate-resilient living. The series celebrates the things about Banyule which our community loves- from gardening to connecting to Country to saving money on our energy bills- these workshops will upskill community members while connecting participants to like-minded neighbours. Attendees are entered in a drawing for a prize for participating in each workshop with the drawing held at the annual wrap-up celebration and showcase event in November. Each attendee will receive a certification of completion for the workshops they attend.

This workshop takes place during the Kulin season of Waring (Wombat). Waring (wombats) emerge from their burrows to enjoy the warmth of the sun and graze, a change from their summertime nocturnal behaviour. Waring burrowing behaviour has an important role in our natural ecosystems, aiding in improving soil health by cycling natural nutrients to the surface and softening compacted soils to allow seedlings to mix when they wouldn’t normally be able to. Waring burrows provide protection and shelter to other native species, both from fires and non-native predators. The most common wombat species in Victoria is the Bare-nosed Wombat.

Banyule City Council is proud to acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people as traditional custodians of the land and we pay respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, past, present and emerging, who have resided in the area and have been an integral part of the region's history.

Our community is made up of diverse cultures, beliefs, abilities, bodies, sexualities, ages and genders. We are committed to access, equity, participation and rights for everyone: principles which empower, foster harmony and increase the wellbeing of an inclusive community.
