This is your invitation to a very timely Saturday workshop on September 18.

Energy prices are due to rocket within 5 years and this will place immense hardships on not only the Tasmanian economy, but on communities and individuals. Simply put: We Are Not Ready!

With this in mind, Waterworks community members are invited to a stimulating workshop to explore this theme – with people from other sustainable communities.

Please do join us. Download flyer HERE for details and how to register. And please do pass on to others who may be interested.

Hi all,

Thank you to everyone who turned up to make the Sunday afternoon Street wall painting a wonderful and fun event. We counted 20 adults, 7 younger and 7 small children taking part throughout the day. We had a great time.

Have a look at the wall. It’s very colorful and inspirational. Many cars passed by and slowed down to find out what was going on. It’s all about raising awareness to look out for each other on the road, share the space and make it safer for everyone to use. (Click continue reading for more pictures.)
