Randwick City Council Eco-living Fair 2013

Celebrating all things green and sustainable

The festival will be held on Sunday 15 September 2013 from 10:30am to 3:30pm.

It is held at The Randwick Community Centre located at 27 Munda Street, Randwick.

Event Overview

The Randwick City Council Eco-living Fair is a free annual event that provides the perfect opportunity for the community to come together to learn about the benefits of living a sustainable lifestyle.

This year we celebrate the ninth Eco-living Fair and it is fair to say it is now firmly established as the premiere green event of the east. Held in the unique setting of the Randwick Community Centre, surrounded by the Randwick Environment Park, the Eco-living Fair has something for the whole family to enjoy with advice and information on offer from local community groups and green industry experts, delicious healthy food, free entertainment and kids activities and a variety of market stalls selling quality wares.

Many local partner organisations attend to provide information and conduct formal and informal talks and workshops based on the environmental issues that affect our community in their homes, at school and in the workplace.

This year for the first time we will offer some fresh produce stalls - so bring your market basket or shopping bags along and stock up on fruit, nuts, bread, oils and veggies.

Aims and Objectives

We hope that people come to the Eco-living Fair wanting to find out more about how to live sustainably and how to reduce their ecological footprint particularly energy and water consumption.  Our aim is that every person leaves having learnt something about the environment.

Our event is powered by renewable forms of energy including wind, solar and bio diesel and we are giving away over 3000 trees to our visitors to help offset the carbon used in the event's infrastructure delivery and operation. Food and food scraps will be collected and will provide breakfast, lunch and dinner for our worms in our huge worm farm. We are also running a book exchange - bring along an old book and swap it for one you haven't read yet. We encourage sustainable transport and offer a free shuttle bus service and bike valet - so hop on a bus or hop on a bike and get dropped off right at the door.
